Has anyone experienced fertility problems following Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

Has anyone had the condition undiagnosed for a number of years - which wasn't related to a STD - and experienced subsequent fertility problems?

I had it undiagnosed for several years until I got an abcess on one of my ovaries, I was told one tube was completely useless and the other was scarred so I was unlikely to conceive again.
Then I had a huge fertility problem! 4 years later I got pregnant rather unexpectedly! So despite all the scare-mongering and the doom and gloom from the doctors it is possible to get pregnant again!

are you serious?? many many women around the world are infertile due to pelvic infections they never knew they had. chlamydia is well known for this. i dont remember the statistics but something like 15-20% of women will be infertile after a pid episode.

Infertility and serility are both effects of PID
