A couple of weeks ago, i misscarriaged at 10-12 weeks. Since then, ive had a letter saying that ive got Chlamydia. Ive got to go to the hospital next week to get it treated and my bf got to get tested aswel. Can they tell me how long ive had Chlamydia for?

No, not really. Unless you had a previous culture that was negative, if that's is the case, then you know you contracted it after that. Btw, when you see your doctor to get your treatment, ask them about pelvic inflammatory disease, which can be cause by chlamydia and cause miscarriages/ ectopic pregnancies, which are very serious! good luck!

Please see the web pages for more details on Chlamydia.
If Chlamydia is Not Treated:
Without treatment, chlamydia infection can spread to other parts of the body causing damage and serious long-term health problems.
In women, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to:
* ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb)
* blocked fallopian tubes (the tubes which carry the egg from the ovaries to the womb), which can result in reduced fertility or infertility
* long-term pelvic pain
* early miscarriage or premature birth.

Not really. If you have a really bad case of it, they may be able to tell you that you've had it for "a while." But if you have chlamydia and you're asymptomatic...you have no symptoms...you could have had it for a long, long time. Mostly only men are asymptomatic. But if you've just started with the symptoms, it generally means the chlamydia has been in your system for 1-3 weeks.

I would say after the baby ...
Possible before the baby and a balance of a year...that takes to have the baby...See a doctor and they can clear this all way and stick with the doctor and try again...I am sorry for your loss and you may want to have a service for your loss to clear things up in your life and recognize God...In all things

Unfortunately no they cant trust me i've tried. The only way to really tell is if its affected your insides then they will know that you've had it for a long time other then that you wont know.

no they cant tell. they say its silent so by the time you would have felt it then you have had it a long time. my doctor said you can go months and months without knowing. crazy. take care of it or it can lead to bigger issues. good luck.
