Hi there,
I tested positive for chlamydia a week ago. Doctor told me results a few days ago.
Background: The first time I noticed unusual discharge was after having sex on 9/4/14. I monitored it, and it appeared to be something like BV. I took monistat just in case it was yeast infection, then when my period came on 9/19/14 I waited to see if it would go then. I went to a nurse practitioner who took a look and said it looked like BV -- she sent away for a test for BV and trich and confirmed it was BV. I took MetroGel for a week and things seemed to clear up.
Another note: My period never came in October, which I thought may have been due to new diet changes.
Fast forward a couple weeks and I noticed pelvic pain and symptoms similar to a mild UTI. I started to take macrobid and it did not seem to work that well (usually, my symptoms disappear within a day if it's a UTI on macrobid), so I went back to the nurse practitioner. She said to give it more time. I had an annual with my gyn at the end of that week (week of 10/20/14) so figured I would discuss more with him then if it still persisted.
Turns out I have chlamydia. I am wondering from whom I got it from. As of February 2014, I tested negative for all STDs. I have had 3 partners since that time; one partner I had sex with once in early June and once in late July; another, once in late June and once in early July; and the last one was once in late August and once in early September. As I've read that symptoms, if noticed, normally show up within 1-3 weeks post exposure, I am thinking it would have to be my last partner...correct? I'm very cognizant of symptoms, and the first I ever felt "off" was early September (we had sex 10 days prior to my first notice of abnormal discharge).
Another question: is bacterial vaginosis a symptom of chlamydia?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
