SUFFERING FORM CHLAMYDIA BUT TRYING TO CONCEIVE

I am 31 years old, my daughter is 14 months old and I have been trying to conceive #2 for 4 months. My period returned about 4 months ago, but I breastfed my daughter until December 18, 2010. My pap test showed possible chlamydia infection which was not confirmed by a vaginal culture ( Elisa method). My current ob/gyn said that I need to get a PCR to be 100% sure and that a chlamydia infection could block the fallopian tubes . Is this possible to happen in 14 months? I have had two very easy conceptions in the past and have never had chlamydia infection, plus it is not possible to have contracted it in the past 14 months. Thank you for your answer.

this is to improve the health status of the mother and good health of next baby.., hence better you need to improve the health and then get cured of the chlamydial disaese and then get conceived... the infection will lead to abortions and congential abnormalities,, you need to get cured completely before getting pregnant...
