Caught chlamydia 7/20, treated with doxy 9/10. should i be worried about pid? currently have no symptoms except light fever (37.4). will i be infertile? can pid develop even when im curing chlamydia (during the week?)

Some basics: PID or pelvic inflammatory disease is a descriptive label for the progression of an infection into the tissues of the pelvis. Proper treatment of chlamydia or gonorrhea before they extend into those tissues will stop the progression. Infertility is associated with either germ but most often occurs when the STD is untreated for an extended period. A temp of 37.4 is not fever.

I got treated for vaginal + rectal chlamydia with doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 14 days. In case the infection also infected my upper genital tract, would the treatment I had likely have cured possible PID caused by chlamydia?
To be clear is it safe to have sex two days after finish doxy 14day dose for chlamydia no pid but ogbyn prescribed extra 7days making 14days to make sure. So would it be safe 2 days after finishing 14daydose? Also had rocephin shot a week ago for gon?
I put the wrong dates previously, chlamydia&gon doxy 7days for chlamydia ends dec8th ogbyn gave another 7 days just in case which endsDec16th & gave me a rocephin shot Dec 6th for gon no-pid when is okay for sex? With these exact dates? next weekend?
Im confused by answers on previous questions; if the chlamydia caused PID, does it mean that 7 days of doxycycline would have been enough to cure PID? Why do several sources recommend 14 days of doxy in combination with other drug to cure PID?
My apologies for the earlier confusion. So the 14 days of only doxycycline 2dd should have cured PID caused by chlamydia, even though I had no other type of antibiotics in addition to the doxy?
