Possible for sure: Can't say how likely; chlamydia frequently causes fertility problems in females, but many women escape the problems. If chlamydia causes female infertility it's always from tubal damage; an obg or fertility doc can tell you about an x-ray test ("hsg") for evaluating this.

Chlamydia: Agree w dr. Honore. Don't know your gender. If you are a male - you also have a risk of infertility. It is a lower risk than for a woman. See: http://www.Cdc.Gov/std/chlamydia/stdfact-chlamydia.Htm. "complications are rare in men. Infection sometimes spreads to the tube that carries sperm from the testis, causing pain, fever, and, rarely, preventing a man from being able to father children.".
