I had chlamydia for five months and didn't know it. What are the odds I could be infertile?

If you have been harboring chlamydia for 5 months, chances are VERY strong that you could have pelvic inflammatory disease (PID, the condition that leads to infertility). If you have not already done so, you need to see a gynecologist and get a pelvic exam to determine the condition of your uterus and Fallopian tubes.\n\nFive months is a long time. Some women develop PID within a matter of WEEKS after contracting chlamydia. About 1 in 5 cases of chlamydia will progress to PID, and 15-50% of patients with PID will become infertile.

If you haven't been having irregular periods and if you are a healthy lady, I don't see a problem. Maybe it is the guy. Don't be worried. Check in with a doctor. I have seen some patients come in and are put on birth control for a couple months to help them have babies. Therefore, the doctor may diagnosis your symptoms. However, I hope there is a real psychic out here who would be able to help you.  But they would really have to say more about you to know that they are real. Hang in there. Even at 35 babies are still healthy and possible. Take care and try not to stress over it to much your time will come when god chooses the right child for you. I hope my comment help in some way.

Chlamydia\n\nChlamydia is the most common STD in the United States, and also the most invisible.\nChlamydia is a microscopic parasite that can cause sterility in women and men. Four million American men and women become infected every year.\n\nIn women, chlamydia infects the cervix and can spread to the urethra, Fallopian tubes and ovaries. It can cause bladder infections and serious pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sterility and ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants in tissue outside of the uterus, and the placenta and fetus begin to develop there. Up to 40 percent of women with untreated chlamydia will develop PID. Of those with PID, 20 percent will become infertile. In men, chlamydia infects the urethra and may spread to the testicles, causing epididymitis, which can cause sterility.\n\nChlamydia can also lead to Reiter's syndrome, especially in young men. Reiter's syndrome involves eye infections, urethritis and arthritis. \n\n\nSymptoms and how chlamydia is spread\n\nSymptoms of chlamydia include the following:\n\n\nDischarge from the penis or vagina\n\nPain or burning while urinating, more than usual urination\n\nExcessive vaginal bleeding\n\nPainful intercourse for women\n\nSpotting between periods or after intercourse\n\nAbdominal pain, nausea, fever\n\nInflammation of the rectum or cervix\n\nSwelling or pain in the testicles \nSeventy-five percent of women with chlamydia have no symptoms. Many women discover they have chlamydia only because their partners are found to be infected. Other women discover that they must have had it for some time when they are treated for the infertility that it can cause.\n\nIf symptoms appear, they do so in seven to 21 days. If your partner is a man, and he has a urinary tract infection, you may have chlamydia.\n\nOnly one in four men with chlamydia have no symptoms. \n\nChlamydia is spread by vaginal and anal intercourse or from the birth canal to the fetus. In rare cases, it can be spread from the hand to the eye. Condoms offer very good protection against chlamydia.\n\nChlamydia can be confused with gonorrhea and other conditions. Examination of tissue samples or urine is necessary for correct diagnosis.\n\nBoth partners can be treated successfully with antibiotics.

First of all, that could be a bladder infection, kidney stones coming out, a venereal disease, etc.  Home remedies wont make you not barren when an untreated pelvic infection makes you barren.  If you intend on having children get to the doctor ASAP.

It happens. True story here. Im not going to hold anything back. I had unprotected sex with someone who had it (i did NOT know he had it at the time)....and 2 weeks later, I started seeing little red raised bumps in "that area"....a week later I went to the doctor, they did a female exam, and they sent me to get some blood tests done....and I found out that I had it. It only takes one time hun, just like pregnancy.\n\nGood Luck

It's possible, and more likely if you use a condom, but not certain.  If I can expand beyond the scope of your original question, one of the dangers of chlymidia is that many people who have the disease don't show symptoms, and even the tests for Chlymidia are not always accurate.  For that reason, in my experience in sexually active communities, people who have been with partners who have chlymidia are usually treated (with a simple antibiotic) for chlymidia even in the absence of symptoms or a positive chlymidia test.\n\nI am not a doctor, this is what I've observed, but if you've had sex with someone known to have contracted chlymidia, I might suggest seeing a doctor.

It's possible; not due necessarily to the birth control. You could have been infertile in the first place. If you are going to try to conceive, you and your partner could get examined if you are concerned about fertility issues.

No, It is impossible to be a "carrier" for Chlamydia. If someone you slept with was diagnosed there is a 99% chance that you have it. Chlamydia is easily passed among sexual partners because many times there are no symptoms. 80% of women and 20% of men have no symptoms whatsoever. If you suspect you have chlamydia go to an STD clinic, you can remain anonymous, get very fast results and they will treat you on the spot at no cost to you. The longer you wait the more dangerous it becomes.

First, NEVER EVER HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT WEARING A CONDOM ! There are std's that don't have as noticeable affects in women as what it will in men. Considering this girl is already on birth control pills is a sure indication she has been sexually active already.Since she allowed you to have sex with her not wearing a condom ,safe bet others have had the same priveledge. How do you know she for sure she has not got hiv? You didn't think at the time you had sex that you would be worried about a std right now either did you? People lie, especially when it comes to sex . Don't you think if everybody told the truth about std's and hiv/aids that this problem would be well under control,if not completely extent? Next time wear a condom!! Not for her benefit but for your own safety. As to do you have a STD. Only a doctor will be able TO ANSWER THAT 100% , you should have been there 3 weeks ago. Some std's can make you sterile. If you are to embarrassed to go to the Dr. then call your local health department and see if they can't see you. If you are really worried then call the er at your local hospital and tell them your symptoms without giving your name. Hopefully all you have is a kidney infection. Next time you start to have sex make sure you use a condom! No matter what she may tell you. If your gonna do it be responsible. Good luck!!

Consult a doctor.  If you haven't figured it out yet, most people here on yahoo answers are only interested in points, and as a result answer question that they have no business answering.  This could be a very serious problem, and it simply is not worth the risk, especially since with a lot of medical conditions (including STD's), timing is everything.  Get it checked out by a professional!

Chlamydia doesn't cause a person to become sterile.  Because it has no symptoms, you can have it for a long time and not know it.  It can cause something called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. PID can cause you to become sterile, because after it is treated, with the passage of time, scar tissue builds up and attaches to the ovaries and Fallopian tubes, which then can make it hard to get pregnant.  So it really depends on the person, and how much scar tissue builds up, and many other factors as to whether the person becomes sterile or not.

I would suggest that if you do not have a period with in the next week, purchase a home pregancy test.  I suspect that you are going to have your period, but your body is just going threw some changes, so it feels different.  Also, if you were recently treated for a yeast infection, and you took antibiotics for that, it could have an impact.  Hopefully your doctor explained to you that when taking anti biotics, you need to use a second form of birth control for a month, as your birth control pill (if you take them) very well not  work.  Good Luck!

You have to consider a few factors:\nHave you been $exually active?\nIs your cycle usually regular?\nHave you been under a lot of stress lately?\nHave you lost weight recently?\n\nIf the      in question isn't $exually active you can rule out pregnancy. Otherwise, go ahead, buy a test for yourself. Better safe than sorry.\n\n(Not sure if Yahoo's word filter blocks that so I self-censored)

Please just go to the doctor, you should never leave things like this for any amount of time, so please go to your doctor now. I am not even going to suggest what this might be as you safe you practice safe sex all the time, it just doesn't sound good to me, get it checked out.

i have cramping and clear, sticky discharge during ovulation. it's been like this for many years for me so i know it's nothing else. if you've been on BC all this time and now stopped, it's likely you're just ovulating since BC stops ovulation, hence, preventing pregnancy. looking up your symptoms or calling your Dr. would be a start if you're really concerned
