It depends on whether your tubes were damaged (scarring from the infection) and if so to what extent. Scarring can stop the egg and sperm meeting or can block the fertilised egg`s journey down the tube- leading to a tubal pregnancy which must be removed via meds or surgery as it cannot develop there and can cause serious complications to your health.
I had one episode of PID (due to chlamydia I didn`t even know I had caught) eight years ago~ had a fever, terrible abdominal cramping and pain (worse than period cramps), and an unpleasant discharge and went to the doctor where I was diagnosed and given meds. I then had a follow up appointment to chek that the infection was gone- it wasn`t, and I was given more meds and then checked agin and the infection was gone.
To check whether your tubes have been damaged you will need to have an HSG test, where dye it passed into a catheter/ tube which has been inserted into your cervix. Take 2 painkillers (tynelol for example) 45 minutes before the procedure and breathe out (`phu`/ `hoo`) when the catheter is being inserted. Try to keep calm- the whole procedure should be over within 10-15 minutes. An ultrasound device will be inserted after the tube to watch the flow of the dye. If there is no damage the tube will be smooth and the liquid will flow easily. If there is some damage, the tube will show up as not smooth or blocked. If it is blocked, surgery may be possible to unblock it. If surgery is not an option on your doctors advice IVF is of course a possibility.
As a precaution your doctor should prescribe `KEFRAL` (250 mg/ 3 tabs a day/ 2 days) to take after the procedure as the test itself can cause PID. ((Appendicitus operation, IUD insertion/ removal can also cause PID, so it is not only from an STI that it can develop)).
In my case, my left tube was totally smooth, my right tube less so, but both were completely viable and my DH and I will start trying for a baby asap.
Each episode of PID decreases your fertility dramatically, as dos the severity of the infection, so it is important to get checked for STIs regularly and get to your doctor asap if you notice a change in your discharge, have longer than usual or heavier periods, have Back pain or pain during sex to be tested. Stay healthy!

∙ 13y agoNo, but you may experience bleeding such as spotting due to hormonal changes, miscarriages, etc. But you will not have a period because a period is the result of an unfertilized egg that is released and not attached to the uterus, therefore the uterus sheds its lining.
