I came across this post with my own concerns of being sterile. I am 19 years old and as much as I would love to have a baby and be a mommy now I know that I just can't. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 1/2 years and I desire to be married to him and have a baby. When I was about 16 years old I found out that I had an STD but I refused to tell ANYONE for almost a year :/ I feel so stupid now especially since my mom was very supportive and helpful once I did tell her. So, with that said, knowing I was positive for chlamydia for almost a year I am so concerned with my ability to have a baby. I am not able to tell my boyfriend about my concern because I know he will not understand considering I shouldnt be thinking about reproducing yet. I have so many girlfriends who have gotten pregnant so quickly and it really gets to me leading me to think there is something wrong with me. I have military insurance so going to the doctor isnt a problem, I'm just so scared to know the results :/ Thanks for reading..any advice would be great!!
Hi,
You did eventually go to the doctor to be treated for the chlamydia, didn't you? Have you had a gynecological exam before?
I can understand you being scared but being checked will help you resolve that anxiety. You may not have any problems with fertility.
Please get checked and let us know.
