A member asked:
In case that chlamydia caused pid with damage to the fallopian tubes, is getting pregnant next to impossible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not impossible.: Chlamydia / pid can reduce your fertility but effect is hard to predict. Really depends upon the severity of the infection and location of scarring. There are two fallopian tubes and all it takes is one egg. All is not lost.
