Ten years ago I had chlamydia for 9 months with no symptoms until the 9th month: awful back pain and burning wee. It was diagnosed as a uti initially and treated as such which got rid of symptoms. A couple of weeks later the cat came out of the bag and bf admitted he had cheated and been in a 2nd relationship for 9 months. I had a full sti screening after (obvs split up) and tests revealed chlamydia. Because I no longer had symptoms there was no mention of PID, but now ttc and reading up on fertility I fear that the infection had in fact progressed and that's what my symptoms were.
We have been ttc for 10 months with no luck. I am really frightened that my fertility has been ruined and my dreams of a family drastically altered. My OH is supportive and knows everything, but I fear that facing the reality of infertility would destroy everything we have. I worry my family would be disgusted with me. I feel so incredibly low.
I really need to hear from anyone who has suffered from a chlamydia infection or PID and conceived, whether that be through post on here or private message. I know we don't always want to share online things that are embarrassing. I just hope someone out there can help to build my confidence and reassure me.
We will have the tests done at 12 month, and I do know I ovulate through tracking temping and blood testing earlier for a separate issue that has since resolved. Really hoping you can help xx
