I'm sure its hard, and infertility is a risk of PID, but its just so different from person to person that without testing, there's just no way to put a number on your chances.  :(

Good luck.

Hi there -

Depending on your age, 9 months isn't yet time enough to be alarmed.  If you are under 35, your doc will tell you to wait a year.  If you are over 35, then you might check with your doc now, but that still doesn't mean you have to be alarmed.

No one can tell you if you are infertile over the internet, and your doc is going to have to do some testing to find that out.
