After the miscarriage I had another internal scan to make sure it had gone completely and the woman said everything looked fine.But me and that partner finished as the relationship got too much and wasn't working anymore. So stupidly after a few months I did go with someone else and caught chlamydia but I had been checked a few weeks before and was clean so luckily got rid of it within weeks of getting it. I asked the woman about when I want to get pregnant again and she said it's if you keep getting it that it affects fertility. I have been with my new partner for a while and since May we have been trying to get pregnant but a few months ago went on holiday so used protection as I didn't want to try whilst we was on holiday. I have recently had a smear just to check for diseases etc. But after we have been trying sine May I am a little worried that maybe it has affected if I can get pregnant or not.After we have been trying for a year I will go to the Gynocologist, but I have heard to only go when you have been trying for about a year. I'm just really worried and wondered what other people think. I really do worry too much but I don't want to confide to friends as we aren't telling people we are trying incase it doesn't happen.Thanks for any advice.

 Having Chlamydia for a couple of weeks shouldnt have affected your fertility at all so I doubt it has anything to do with that.
One question for you - have you been on the pill recently or used any other form of birth control? You said you used protection but I'm unsure if you just meant condoms or if you used birth control?
If you have been on the pill it can take up to 6 months to clear out of your system so bear that in mind. Same applies for other types of hormonal contraceptive.
It has only been 6-7 months since you have started trying so try not to feel too disheartened just yet, these things can take time so just be patient and then if in another 5 or 6 months you still have had no luck then go to see your doctor. I'm sure everything will be fine because you have conceived in the past so try not to worry too much, after all the problem is all in your head at the minute.
One possibility is that it might be your partner that has the problem (seen as you have conceived in the past) but I dont think that laying the blame on one person is particularly helpful right now so just stay positive, keep trying and stop worrying so much.
I hope this helps and good luck!

I think it might be worth talking to a doctor about it and getting both yourself and your partner checked out. Also bear in mind that stress can have an effect on a woman's ability to conceive, so try to stop worrying as much, or it might take longer.

 Has your current partner been checked for chlamydia? It can be passed to men and carried without symptoms.
I think you should both go see your doctors for a checkup to make sure. That's the best advice I can offer, not being a medical person!
Good luck!
