Chlamydia and gonorrhea can both affect future fertility.

Among women with chlamydia, 10 to 15% will have pelvic inflammatory disease. In many cases, they many not notice any symptoms although chlamydia is affecting their fertility.

Of those with PID, 20% may have scarring that affects fertility, and 9% may have future ectopic pregnancy.

So for every 100 women with chlamydia, two or three will be infertile and one to one and a half may have a future tubal pregnancy.

If you had chlamydia for probably around a year but you took a fertility test and it said you were fertile then why haven't gotten pregnant after 8 months of trying?

If the fertility test you took was one that involved bloodwork or a urine sample, you did not really get evaluated for the typical causes of infertility after chlamydia. If you haven't gotten pregnant after having sex without birth control for a year, see your health care provider with your partner to start testing. Among women with chlamydia, 10 to 15% will have pelvic inflammatory disease. In many cases, they many not notice any symptoms although chlamydia is affecting their fertility.
