A woman would not know if chlamydia affected her fertility without rather extensive testing. A male can get a semen analysis, which is relatively cheap and easy.

You normally don't start the evaluation until you'd like to start trying to conceive, as some of the testing might make it easier to conceive, and you wouldn't want to get it done ahead of time. In addition, you may be reinfected after testing, in which case the evaluation would have done you no good. Among women with chlamydia, 10 to 15% will have pelvic inflammatory disease.
