Default Chlamydia and fertility

I had Chlamydia in my mid 20's and it caused much scarring on my tubes.
After my first ectopic, I was told I had less than a 25% chance to conceive
naturally. The first thing I was advised to do (and I think you should) is
to get an HSG. It is a procedure where they put dye through your tubes and
look at how it flows through. I did this at a fertility clinic where the doc
was a fertility specialist. He was encouraged by the flow and upped my
chances to 50/50 since one tube looked okay.

I have had quite and up and down story, and I'm careful how much to tell you
since your situation could be much different. What I know is that if you
really want to have a baby, you will most likely have one. My best advice is
to find a doctor that specializes in fertility issues (I can recommend one
if you are in the Boston area) and get some help.

I'm happy to fill you in along the way with what I know. It's been a 3 year
road, but I am 4 months pregnant right now and loving it!

Take care-
Erin
