Chlymidea Infection
I have a question regarding Chlymidea infection in women.
Is it possible for a woman to develop a ectopic pregnancy if she contracted the chlymidea infection from the same instance of sex as resulted in fertilization? Or would the infection not be present and active in her system quickly enough to cause an ectopic pregnancy prior to the egg being fertilized?
