You are doing the right thing in tolerating the nausea from the stomach irritation the erytromycin causes.
Yes, chlamydia can cause infertility:
Chlamydia can cause infertility
In women, untreated infection can spread into the fallopian tubes and cause the tubes to become blocked at the very ends. Thi is known as hydrosalpinx. They can also develop scar tissue around the fallopian tubes that makes it more difficult for the tube to ';pick up'; the egg at the time of ovulation. The problems can lead to infertility and an increased risk for ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.
Distal tubal obstruction can be detected by performing a hysterosalpingogram. Pelvic adhesions, however, can only be detected by undergoing a surgical procedure to look inside of the abdominal cavity. This is usuaully done using a technique called laparoscopy where a fiber optic telescope is inserted through the belly button under general anesthesia. Since laparoscopy is a much more invasive procedure, it is desirable to avoid it whenever possible.
