It is unlikely: Sorry but chlamydia is one of the top reasons for infertility in women who suffer from std's. Treatment with antibiotics should have been started as soon as you were diagnosed. Chlamydia is a silent bacteria that can damage the tubes causing blockage. If that happens, you are at risk for a tubal pregnancy (ectopic), or will not get pregnant by natural means.

Need to get checked: Chlamydia infections are very common (3 million infections a year in us) and may cause infertility due to blocked tubes, scarring around the tubes or ovaries or low egg supply. Not all women with chlamydia have fertility issues - an infection in your cervix doesn't always damage the tubes. A hysterosalpingogram or hsg test checks your tubes; a fertility specialist can check you for low egg supply.
