Describe the path of eggs from ovaries to outside the body?
The egg(s) is released from the ovaries. It then goes to the fallopian tubes. Here, it can be fertilized by a sperm cell or remain unfertilized. Either way, it travels through the fallopina tubes and into the uterus. If it is fertilized, the egg will implant on the lining of the wall of the uterus and begin to grow. If not, the lining will shed. This, along with the egg, will travel out of the body through the cervix and vagina in the period.
Why do you still have chlamydia after treatment?
It's not likely that you still have chlamydia if you took the proper treatment as prescribed. If you're still having symptoms, contact your health care provider. If you were tested immediately after treatment, you've made an error -- the test will remain positive for four to six weeks after treatment.

Blood screening is not a normal way to test for chlamydia.

You should consider yourself contagious until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete.
