What Are The Chances Of Conceiving By Avoiding Taking Doxycycline ?

Hello...I recently have been trying to conceive so as my supposed ovulation day the 17th I noticed light pink on my toilet paper...I initially thought it was ovulation spotting but now today its bright red and I am wearing a pad. Im assuming this is chlamydia as I tested positive for it a little over a month ago and STILL have it. I have had sex 4 different days in my fertile stage and started bleeding only yesterday the 17. Can I still conceive? I purposely have not taken the doxycycline because of all the negatives for healthy conception.

Hello
As you mentioned that you are taking doxycycline for chlamydia infection , you can take these capsules. Before conception you can take these capsules and in my opinion these capsules ( or tablets ) don't interfere to get pregnancy .
However if once got pregnant , don't use these capsules as these are very harmful for fetus .If ovulation is there you can get pregnancy after sex .Bleeding may ( mild ) be implant bleeding .
Good luck.
