Chlamydia - where has it can't from?

[ForeverLivingMyArse]

Last week I had a medical termination and as part of the procedure they test for STI and I was swabbed for chlamydia. I got a Cahill today too say I tested positive for chlamydia.

Dh and I have been together 12 years, no other sexual partners in this time. I was last tested 3 years ago when pregnant and was clear.

I have not cheated and I am 100% sure he hasn't. Not a doubt is in my mind about that. He works, eats and sleeps and thats about it!

Neither of us have had any symptoms, nothing.

I've got a line to get the anti b for both of us but I'm puzzled as to where it's came from.

Everything I read says sexually transmitted only.

The nursery mentioned anal chlamydia that might have transferred to my vagina?

Any ideas?

No koala contact, infected little buggers!

Northern you're like a stuck record, it's weird, you're not helpful in the slightest.

Just had an interesting chat with the nurse. She said the incorrect test rate is probably higher than the 5 - 10% as a lot of people using the testing service are there because they have had unprotected sex with someone they don't really know so if told chlamydia is there it's not questioned.

She advised I retest and he tests and take it from there. She was able to confirm my test from 3 years ago was all clear. Which narrows it down a bit and makes infidelity even less likely. My husband has a life limiting condition which became apparent just after our baby was born, I'm not going into any other details around that but suffice to say he's not been far in that time. I'm still as sure as I was and I'm not getting into that discussion again.

I've picked up the tablets just in case (prescription only valid a few days), DH has been in to the clinic and I'm going to do it through the GP on Monday (clinic is a total pain in the arse to get to).

Just a waiting game now.

I'm smug because I trust my husband? WTF are you on about? I've not sat here gushing over how amazing he is. I've just said he's not cheated.

I cannot believe how horrible some people are!
And for trusting your husband? Wow. Pay no mind. I hope you get it sorted

Oh dear OP. The doubters aren't going to be happy until you admit you have doubts about his fidelity and admit you did once catch him bollock naked with a gaggle of nubile young women also naked. But he did explain it was a new form of tantric yoga so you believed him.

It's probably a false positive. If not it's the eye make up theory or its lain dormant in one of you for ages before flaring up.

Either way you trust your husband. Your husband trusts you. That's all that matters really.

Back off data it's been done to death further up thread and OP has now said he has a medical condition but doesn't want to give full details.

Wow data that was epically nasty. Poor op had recently had a termination, has chlamydia and has just said how her husband has a life limiting illness. Yeah that's so fucking smug.

Just found out I can pick up a kit from our doctors - would have saved him the hassle of sitting at the clinic drop in this morning. I'll pop down later and pick one up for me and get in on Monday.

Got the tablets just in case. Not going to take them until I know I need to, I hate taking antibiotics.

No sex (even with protection apparently) until the results are in. I've got to go for an xray to find this bloody coil as well although chances are it's fell out and then go for another fitting. I'll be well known in the health service this month. The next step is for him to get snipped, he's thrilled at the prospect haha!

It's come from some blocks cock!

Blake not block!

Bloke fing phone!

I'd understand if I'd sat here saying how much he loves me, he adores me, he'd never look at another woman, he buys me flowers every week and even puts the toilet seat down - that would sound smug!

This happened to someone I knew and after a lot of investigation and talks with medics, it was decided it can live dormant for many years, before current relationships.

OP, i had a false positive test... Me and DP both tested before sleeping together, all clear for both of us. Then again i was tested year or so later when pg with DC1 which came back positive for chlamydia. Long story short: i retested day i got the positive result because like you i was 'smug' enough to trust Dp and it came back negative.Also tested 2yrs after whilst pg with DC2 which also was negative.

OP has given away more than she wanted to, due to the insistence of others that she shouldn't be so "smug". She has been forced to reveal that her DH has a life limiting condition that we know nothing about. Maybe they are in each others' company 24 hours a day. Maybe her DH is bedridden. Maybe he is in the full time company of a male nurse. Sorry about such speculation OP. Maybe, maybe, maybe. It's none of our business and we don't have all the facts. Nor should OP have to give them. She's courteously explained that it's physically impossible. And she's still being attacked for being "smug".

It does lie dormant but as far as I'm aware it would still show up on a test.

I think the thing with chlamydia is that you can have for years with no outward symptoms but it will be wreaking havoc to your reproductive system. By the time you realise you have it, it may be too late.

I suppose there are three possibilities on this.

1. The OP's DH gave it to her
2. The test was a false positive
3. Or the first test she had years ago, was a false negative (if there is such a thing).

Fingers crossed that's it's a false positive.

I've come to this thread late, but want to reiterate that there are sometimes an awful lot of nasty, jealous, bored women who enjoy hiding behind an anon name online and make comments they'd never do face to face.

It's threads like this that make me want to end my membership of MN because it's just an unpleasant place to hang out with women who like to be nasty.

Sorry OP- hope you are okay.

Second that Polly

Thank you

Popping out to get the kit from the doctors now, am on with a bottle of wine and some chocolate and we're going to get the kids settled after dinner and snuggle up with a film. It's been a hell of a week, my pain and bleeding from the initial procedure is subsiding now but feel worn out and im need of some tlc.

Doesn't help my eldest has turned into Kevin the teenager 3 years early...

Thanks again.

I agree with Polly as well.
I hope you are ok forever. Having invasive procedures is bad enough without all the other crap you are going through

Thanks owl. No one knows about the termination in real life other than dh so it's been hard trying to carry on as normal. I took to bed that day but since then just been getting on with things, back at work etc. Pain was really bad Tuesday/wednesday at work.

It seems my coil just fell out (I don't have a wizard's sleeve for a fanny honestly) as the couldn't see it at the scan. It could have been out for ages. The xray is just to make sure its not elsewhere. Reluctant to get another one but hormonal contraception doesn't really agree with me.

Weird question but have either of you been to australia in the last three years or anywhere where you might have been peed on by a koala
