Chlamydia

[MusingCruising]

I posted in the sex topic but only had one reply so im posting here for more traffic

Past few months ive had really irregular bleeding so was reffered to hospital for some tests and an ultrasound. They did a transvaginal ultrasound and said everything looked fine and to wait for the test results from the swabs.

It came back yesterday and it said i have chlamydia. I have been with my DP for 2 years and was tested before i got with him.

I know its my own fault for not insisting he was tested & not using protection & im not here to focus on using protection ect. I feel horrible and stupid enough as it is. We have been trying for a baby for the last 10/11 months so it has been therr a long time.

My question is, i have read that chlamydia leads to PID if left untreated and from what i have read it is diagnosed through an ultrasound.

If i had gotten PID from chlamydia would it have showed on the ultrasound and tests that i had? Or will i now have to ask for them to look and see? I am worried about how this is going to affect my fertiltiy

I don't have the answers to your questions but I just wanted to share I also had chlamydia for 2 years plus! I actually have no idea how long. I then got myself in tizzy that I had caused my infertility. I had lap and dye, all was fine with my tubes and I got pregnant the month I got the ok (I think the stress lifted). I now have two little ones.
I was so angry and so cross with myself at the time though and ashamed for letting it happen.
I just wanted to share my story and hopefully help alleviate some of those feelings for you as well.

Oh god thank you that does make me feel better. I have PCOS already so my fertility isnt great and now im worried ive really fucked up.

I am ashamed. I havnt told anyone but DP, i feel horrible about myself. Im nearly 30 years old in a stable relationship, i shouldnt be in this situation

Did they just refer you for the lap and dye? I am so worried ive got long term damage but your story is giving me a small bit of hope. Thank you for replying

I know plenty of people who've had it and had children. Dont worry op.
Do you know how common it is?! Incredibly so. No point giving yourself a hard time.

@MusingCruising sorry just seeing your response. They didn't refer straight away. I was trying for about 9 months unsuccessfully (I told them a year ). It was over a year by time of op. But as I said I literally got the news all was ok and I didn't even get another period, I was pregnant straight after.
With my second, I was pregnant in 2 months. So I think it was a mixture of stress of chlamydia history and coming of contraception that caused me to take so long with number 1 to fall pregnant

The hospital letter said they would get in touch but i couldnt wait and ive rang them. I have at the end of the week and they asked about partners and they said i could make an appointment for DP too so i did.

Ive read that its quite common but i cant find much info online from real people who have had it, i feel less upset than when i first got the letter, i think it was the shock.

I am going to ask them about PID at the appointment and see if they can make an appointment to check for it etc.

I dont have any PID symptons but ive got myself all worried that because an STD has been festering for nearly a year that i could have it

Thank you for the replies

Hi op how have things went for you
