Most people don't realize they have chlamydia. In fact 2/3 of women have no symptoms at all; others have symptoms so mild they aren't noticeable.
Some symptoms in women can include:
* an unusual vaginal discharge
* pain or a burning sensation when passing urine
* bleeding between periods
* pain during sex or bleeding after sex
* low abdominal pain sometimes with nausea
You really should get this checked out if you believe you might have chlamydia or any other STD. Testing for chlamydia is just a simple urine test. Certain bacterial STDs, like chlamydia, can cause SEVERE health problems, including reduced fertility or infertility, if left untreated. Good luck!

First off, stop stressing. I know that you are worrried about the whole thing, but stress will only make the baby uneasy as well as your self. Next, I would suggest that you talk with yor husband because obviously he has been cheating on you if he is the only person you have been sleeping with and all of a sudden you have chlamydia. And since it is an STD and can only be transfered through sex I would have to say that the test could be correct. I am hoping that the doctor gave you some type of antibiotics to help clear up this infection so that it wouldnt do any harm to your unborn child.

As a female, there's a good (i.e. greater than 75%) chance you would never show symptoms. The trouble is, even without symptoms, you could 1) pass it on and, more importantly, 2) have a very good chance of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). You DO NOT want to mess around with PID - if not caught, you stand a good chance of never being able to have children.
First options: if your boyfriend came back positive, see if the doc will give additional doses for his partner. Some docs will, some won't. If you are allergic to any antibiotics, make sure your boyfriend relays that information along. DO NOT SHARE A SINGLE DOSE. Very, very bad idea.
Next option: if he has it, you have to get checked out because of the PID risk. See if there is a Planned Parenthood in your area. Call them up. See if you can find a friend to take you. Again, you don't have the option of not getting yourself checked out if he does, in fact, have chlamydia.

You most likely won't have symptoms, but you will be able to pass it on to another partner. Chlamydia is a bacterial STD. It is easily cured with antibiotics, but can lead to other health problems if left untreated. Symptoms could include vaginal discharge and pain upon urination. Go see you school nurse if you can't get to a doctor. You need to be checked!

the only way you will know with any certainity if you have it or not is by getting tested. it is a bacterial infection that will eventually (if not treated) cause sterility. there are usually no symptoms in females but it may cause a discharge, odor, or abdominal cramps. it is easily treated with a course of oral antibiotics. if your boyfriend is positive, he is obligated to provide a case worker with your name and phone number so that the health department can contact you about your exposure. if he used a condom and did not get ANY ejaculate inside of you you should be ok.

Myself I haven't experienced an STD, but I do know alot about it. You need to go see medical attention because if you don't you could spread it to others, if you don't want your parents to you could go to a local planned parenthood they do std testing there.
