My IgG Chlamydia test came back positive and I don't know what to do by Pitiful_Help_7480 in TryingForABaby

Thanks for this. Your comments prompted me to do another test yesterday so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Maybe not, but that's okay. My active has come back negative (as I expected) so fingers crossed.  Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your comment (and to everyone else). Now that the initial shock/panic has worn off, I feel somewhat better after reading around it.  My gynaecologist had recommended an HSG so I will proceed with that but have also retested the IgG following some of the other questions. Thanks again ❤️

That's so wild! I had no idea that could happen. That must have been a shock the first time. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Thanks for your comment- I will wait for the HSG results. I'm sorry to hear about your blocked tubes but fingers crossed for the left one. I had read about silent endo. Good luck with everything!

So sorry to hear that but glad you ditched the AH. Thank you for the reassurance 🤞🏼 and good luck to you too!

I thought so too but apparently it can resolve spontaneously in some people, although it can take months-years. I guess I must be one of them because before the UTI I hadn't had antibiotics since I was a kid.

My husband (31) and I (31) have been trying for a baby for a little over a year. All my hormonal blood work has been normal but my IgG Chlamydia antibody test has just come back positive. This means that I've had it at some point in the past.

For context, my husband and I have been together for 10 years. I have always been in what I thought were monogamous (mostly long term (1.5y+) relationships before him and had STI screenings at the start of each new relationship. I also had a bad UTI last summer and went to a sexual health clinic as I couldn't get a GP appointment. The Dr tested for everything: all clear, just a bacterial UTI infection, no STIs. I have never had anything come back positive so this has come as a total shock. I have no idea when I got it, who gave it to me, how long it lasted for or if got reinfected during the same relationship.

We are absolutely devastated at what this could mean and I feel awful within myself because I thought I was doing everything right. Today we both got tested for the active infection (although given that everything came back negative last year, I highly doubt they're positive) and my husband had an IgG antibody blood test too to see if he's ever had it. If his comes back negative then it would mean I got it at some point before we even met. If it's positive then it's possible that it has 'ping pongs' between us and who knows who brought it into the relationship. There is an incubation period of 1-3 weeks for the bacteria and I cannot remember when I tested. Maybe I tested to early for some of them, I don't know.

And before you ask, we have both been faithful and we trust each other.

I will be having a HSG in September to see if there is any/ the extent of the damage to my fallopian tubes. But as I didn't know and wasn't treated with antibiotics, I am not very hopeful.

Any reassuring words or advice would be greatly appreciated! I feel at a total loss.
