So my husband and I had a full battery of all STD testing done in Jan of last year for fertility treatment. The year before that with another fertility doctor we did the same testing. All negative for both of us both times. I got pregnant and we got transferred over to my obgyn for treatment. She wanted to do all her own STD testing, so we did. I got a call today that I tested positive for Chlamydia. If you know anything about it, it is primarily diagnosed in ages 15-19 and common in populations under 25. My husband is 38 and I am 35. Neither of us have any symptoms (but evidently that is fairly common). More importantly, I am fairly confident (without being naive) that he has been faithful, and I know I have. The nurse stated that they suspect it could be a false positive ( I had a swab test) and therefore they are sending the swab to a different lab for a different test. But they called in an antibiotic for me and instructed me to take it today just in case. I am shocked and now alarmed, also offended. But the nurse was very nice and did say, "before you strangle your husband, we suspect it to be a false positive and are sending it for a re-test."
As if I need this drama and additional stress! I read online that this is actually fairly common in pregnancy to have a false positive. Anyone else ever experience this? I found hundreds for self-reports when I did a search online. It's just so un-necessarily stressful
