STD: Std can scar your fallopian tubes and yes, make it difficult to conceive. This is especially true for untreated std's. Make an appointment to to talk to your doctor about your concerns, if you have not had the std treated, it is very important to get that treated.

Possible: A chlamydia infection can cause scarring in your tubes. Unfortunately this can be an asymptomatic infection in a lot of women. Even without symptoms, this infection can cause significant issues, and can be a cause of infertility.

Some basics: To conceive you need to have healthy ovaries that make & release eggs, at least one healthy Fallopian tube for them to travel in & join with sperm & a healthy uterus that will receive ant nourish a new conception. Both gonorrhea and chlamydia can scar and or block the tubes. This can lead to a dangerous tubal pregnancy or prevent natural pregnancy. Testing can evaluate your tubes.
