What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy When Infected With Chlamydia?

My name is Andra and I have a boyfreind named Billy. He has been a silent carrier of Chlamydia for about 2 or 3 years now. We have been dating on and off for the past [a little over] a year now. I had gotten the infection from him once, and got treated. Of course, I have had sex with him once more, so there is a big possiblity that I could have it again. Neither one of us have used protection. Well, for a short while I dad some birth control. I went from the pill to the patch. He has never got tested nor treated. I have not got tested and treated [again] either. We both want children, and have been trying on and on for the past couple of months or so. What I m asking is: if both of us have chlamydia, can we still have children?

Hello,
Thanks for submitting your question here.
Both of you are mostly having chlamydia. This organism is a common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease[PID] and If untreated, PID can lead to blockage of your fallopian tubes and subsequent infertility. I must tell you that Chlamydia is now the commonest cause of PID, which is estimated that 25% of all cases of infertility are due to chlamydia infection.
So, I suggest both of you to be tested for chlamydia and to be treated, if found positive.
Sincerely
Dr Sanjoy
