chlamydia pregnancy :: Article Creator Can Chlamydia Stop Me Getting Pregnant? Thank you for your question. Chlamydia is one of the most common infections which affects sexually active young men and women. Your concern that it might have affected your fertility is a valid one and needs to be checked out if you don't fall pregnant soon. Chlamydia infection can affect the fallopian tubes in a couple of ways. It might lead to the formation of scar tissue in the pelvis which physically blocks the tubes, either by kinking or binding the tube down. The infection may also damage the fine hairs which line the inside of the tube and ensure the egg moves down to the uterus. Depending on the contraception you used previously, it can take a few months for regular ovulation to start up again, so you may not have been actually able to fall pregnant for as long as a year. Why not discuss this with your GP? He or she would be able to make the appropriate referra...
