Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the US and Canada. In the US, 50% of women will have had the infection by the time they're 30 years old; it is likely that the rates in males are the same. About 3-6% of the US population is infected at any one time. The chances of getting chlamydia from an act of vaginal sex are between 40 and 60%. See related links for references.
There is not data to answer your question, but chlamydia is the #1 bacterial infection, infecting in the US 1.25 million people per year (reported; so the actual number is higher as some have no symptoms hence they don't know they are infected).
Studies show that up to 60% of babies born to women with chlamydia will be infected. Up to half of these will become ill with pneumonia or conjunctivitis due to the infection.
Women, when infected with chlamydia, usually transfer it via sex toys and oral sex. It is common, and chances are good that if your partner is infected, you will catch it as well.
Chlamydia can go undetected for years. Chances of getting chlamydia from someone who's infected are about 40-60% for each episode of vaginal sex.

Yes, a man with chlamydia can get a woman pregnant, and infect her with chlamydia as well. You should abstain from vaginal sex or use contraception if you don't want to get pregnant. Untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause scarring which can impair fertility, but a history of gonorrhea and/or chlamydia doesn't mean you can't get pregnant.
Your chances of getting pregnant won't increase after chlamydia treatment. You will reduce the risk of further damage to your fertility. If it is from chlamydia you are infertile, then unfortunately it progressed to the point of permanent damage.
Research suggests that 30% of male urethritis is due to chlamydia (see related link).
You can have chlamydia for years without knowing, but it can be spread during this time. Each time you have sex, there is about a 40% chance of transmitting chlamydia. The chances of having sex ten times without transmitting the infection are very small -- about 6 in 1000.It's important to remember, though, that the person who gets chlamydia may have no symptoms either. In women, 80-90% have no symptoms, and half of men don't have symptoms. Your health care provider can't tell you how long you've had chlamydia. It's not unusual for someone to enter a relationship with chlamydia, and for neither partner to know they're infected until they are screened.For that reason, you should get tested for STDs whenever you have a new partner.Yes, you can get chlamydia, or first get chlamydia symptoms, four months after your partner did.

The chances of a false negative chlamydia test result with the newest test kits may be as high as 10%. The chances of two false negative results are 1%, and of three are one in one thousand.

Yes, a female can pass chlamydia to a male or a female partner. Chlamydia is spread from oral, anal, and vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; and birth to a woman with chlamydia.
