How Long You Had Chlamydia For? Result? Posted: 01-25-06 14:12pm
I just got my test results and I got
chlamydia that i'm currently being treated
for. I will not be trying to get pregnant
for maybe another year and I was wondering
if I can get some replies to see for how
long someone has had it and were you able
to get pregnant?
I've had it for about 2 years. I know
everyone's body is different, but anyone
knows how long it takes on average to get
a significant damage done that would lead
to infertility (assuming that by now it
turned into pid). Thank you very much for
taking time to answer!

About a year ago I learned I had chlamydia
and took the tablets and got rid of it but
I must have had it for around six years
without knowing and I have been on
infertility treatments for years.
Tomorrow morning I am actually about to
have my first two embryos transfered from
my first ivf cycle. If you have trouble
conceiving for twelve months get help
right away - I waited and it's taken me
seven years to get this far. Hope all
goes well.

Thank you! And best of luck to you!
Btw, can you tell me how you've been
treated for chlamydia? My doc gave only 4
pills to take at once in 1 day and come
back for a follow up test in 3 weeks.
Doesn't sound like enough... Or should it
be? Thanks!

Hi spybg, I am in exactly the same
situation as you, I cannot be sure how
long I had chlymidia for as was in
relationship for 2 and a half years..But
am absolutely petrified about being
infertile..Can I ask you what your
symptoms were? As some ppl don't have
any...Also I was tested for pid and I
didn't have it, so you may not have had it
either. I know somebody who had chlymidia
and then went on to have a baby, and there
is I think 75% chance we will be ok, but
it depends on how long you have had it I
think..I wish there was a test that could
tell you how severe the damage was..I know
there is a test called a laperoscomy
whereby they insert a dye into your
fallopian tubes to see if there is a
blockage, but they only do this after you
have been trying to conceive for 12 months
or longer. Were your (or anybody in a
similar sit) periods normal? Cos my were,
and stil are very iregular, but i'm not
sure whether that is related to the sti or
bcos I was on the pill for 5 years...If
there is anyone out there who has had
chlymidia or knows someobody who has and
gone on to have a baby please say as I am
feeling so very worried at the moment, my
only dream in life is to have baby.
