Test results show Chlamydia

112 replies

Good morning,

We have been ttc for almost two years and have started all the tests etc to try and find out more about why we haven't had a baby. My first dc was conceived without even trying three years ago and so we were a bit disappointed as to why we are struggling.

My gp has just called me to say one of my blood results has shown evidence of a previous chlamydia infection and I'm booked in for swabs next week. I'm absolutely devastated and don't know how I'm going to tell my DH! I've never had any symptoms of an sti so must have had it for years and years. It's been five years since I slept with anyone except my husband and it must have caused some massive damage 😢 he's going to hate me and think I'm disgusting. The gp said not all chlamydia is sexually transmitted but looking online it says it is. I don't know what I'm going to say or do 😬

*worry that should have been

rainbowsockstoday · 12/04/2017 12:01

Still a wiry as to why my blood tests came back positive though. With this and DC being in hospital twice I've had a horrible week.

Fantastic news! Glad all was well x

rainbowsockstoday · 12/04/2017 11:29

My test results have come back negative 👍🏻

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 07:51

I was nervous all the way up to the appointment but the nurse doing my smear test seemed wholly unconcerned and said there was nothing to worry about. She said even if the test is positive then it just needs my two boys testing and then can be treated. She said though these things are often harmless and she'd have expected at least some symptoms if I have had it for so long and it caused PID or other problems.

How did it go

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 07:28

Ha ha really! It's because I started off on different days but with baby being ill I just stopped caring. It's all the same me I promise. I just have different names for my different threads but lost track. It all comes up as the same colour though so you know it's me.

The dr did say it could have been something that naturally went away or was treated with antibiotics when I was I'll with something else. When I started teaching I was constantly on antibiotics for things. I was once on a 14 day course for a chest infection and then a few weeks later had tonsillitis so bad I couldn't eat.

NeedABumChange · 11/04/2017 02:04

Just so people know chlamydia can clear up naturally. I had it and I'd only ever slept with or even kissed one guy. When he was tested he didn't have an active infection but did have the antibodies. Dr explained in some people, very occasionally, the body clears the infection itself. So it's possible you had it years ago and then it just sorted itself out.

This has made me feel better. If I'm diseased I might take the cowards option and get the gp to tell him!

rainbowsockstoday · 10/04/2017 21:51

I had my appt at 9 and the nurse seemed to think it was just procedure and she didn't think there was anything to worry about. She said the smear tests often come up negative because it's either a long gone infection, different strain or a cross contamination. She said the result will be available by the end of the week but with it being easter it might be next week now. I'm a teacher so still at work till Friday and then off for two weeks and I'd selfishly like to know asap because I've heard the treatment can make you pretty sick.

Hopelessworrier84 · 10/04/2017 18:39

Hey, how did it go today?

exPatinthesun · 10/04/2017 09:16

Hope it goes well OP don't panic.

TipTop333 · 10/04/2017 09:11

Good luck today OP!

babymamamilk · 06/04/2017 19:48

I just want Monday to come. Having a poorly DC has meant I'm sitting too long thinking as he has to lie on me to sleep and settle.

picklemepopcorn · 06/04/2017 19:40

Not straws at all! There are all sorts of explanations that you won't know yet. The doctor will help you piggle it out. Try not to worry- you just don't have enough information.

Thank you both for the support. I think some people are jumping to conclusions and being judgemental but that's all I did really so don't blame them.

I'm going to hold off saying anything till I get the test results and I'll probably have to tell both boys. It would be rude not to really. However I've looked online and the antibody test really is lifelong antibodies and they test for markers which point to many different things but coincide with chlamydia so are picked up on the test. I'm clutching at straws I know.

No advice to offer, but sending support. Theres some awfully judgey comments on here and some personal questions been asked which i dont agree have been necessary. Everyone is different. For whats it worth you sound like a great mother and very caring and considerate of those around you. It's natural to worry - I do. Best of luck x

UnicornButtplug · 06/04/2017 15:02

Good luck with your swabs, sounds like there is nothing to worry about and that it is most likely a past infection or non sti.

Just a side note, I fed D'S until he was 2 and a half, I don't think it's that unusual.

@picklemepopcorn I have swabs to be done Monday and I'm going to ask that as soon as the results come back I get a call.

I've spoken to my drs this morning who said I was tested at booking in appt back in 2014 when I was pregnant because of the short length of my relationship. My records show negative then so I feel better about my DC being at risk as there's zero chance it's positive in him.

picklemepopcorn · 06/04/2017 11:57

Hang in there op, how long till you get to find out all the information? You'll be in a better position to explain to DH then.

The world is made up of all sorts of people, and we are all surprisingly surprised when other people are 'not like us'. My DH is quite set in his ways and stubborn. It has been quite tricky at times, but we're still hanging on in there.

@pineapple because he used to go to nursery and one day they called me to say they had called an ambulance and were taking him to hospital. He was fine once there but they said his temperature had suddenly shot up and made him have seizure and then come straight back down. He wasn't ill and they found nothing at all wrong in any tests. It happened twice in a week but with no reason. This was over a year ago. They said it was just one of those things but we had weeks and weeks of tests to get to the conclusion there was nothing wrong.

If your child hasn't been ill previously, how does he have a history of febrile convulsions?
He'd need to have been ill with a fever?

If it helps I would know where it came from as I've only had two boyfriends. One was for 5yrs and one I've married. I'm 34 so getting pg is important now as I know time is marching on! 😆
