When I was around 17 my then boyfriend cheated on me and gave me chlamydia. I remember that it really really hurt to have sex with him and when I eventually went to the doctors (probably around 4 months later) I discovered I had chlamydia and was treated for it. Then nearly 2 years later another long term boyfriend gave me it again and I was once again treated. I don't know either time exactly how long I had it. Both times I stupidly trusted men and they let me down so badly.
When I first got with my now husband (I was 22) we conceived accidentally about 2 months into our relationship and we felt the timing was wrong (and I mean REALLY wrong! Multiple deaths in family, new job, he was basically homeless due to family issues, I was caring for my terminally ill mother... to name but a few!) so we had an abortion.
Now nearly 3 years later my husband (40) and I (28) have been trying to conceive for nearly 6 months and we've not been successful and I've basically convinced myself that I've had that PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) thing or that my history of chlamydia had damaged me so I can't conceive. I am crying basically every day about it (which I know can't be helpful in terms of stress etc). Please someone talk me down! Or give me some helpful words :(
