Could both partners having claymdia in the past affect having children?
Answers:
In this Swedish study, 244 infertile couples who were attending a fertility clinic were tested for chlamydia antibodies. A positive test result would indicate a present or past chlamydia infection. They also tested for chlamydia DNA for couples where only one person was positive.
The couples were then followed up for 37 months. At the same time, they monitored a group of women who got pregnant without any help from a fertility clinic.
They found:
--- One quarter of the infertile women had antibodies
--- One fifth of the infertile men had antibodies
--- 15% of the women who had no fertility treatment and got pregnant had antibodies
--- 7% of infertile men and women with antibodies also carried chlamydia DNA (active infection)
--- Women with antibodies had tubal factor infertility (TFI), this affects the fallopian tubes
--- Men with antibodies did not necessarily mean their partners had TFI

The risk of infertility following a single episode is hard to estimate. If a woman suffers inflammation within the tubes or the pelvic organs (PID or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease), then around 17% of these will become infertile. Up to half of these cases are caused by chlamydia. Scarring of the tubes, which will influence fertility, can be helped in some instances with surgery - so don't be too despondent. You should go for tests to determine whether you have a chlamydia infection, and to look for 'tube scarring' from your past infection.

Other Answers:
It depends on how long they had it before it was treated. It's more likely to affect the woman, as far as fertility is concerned. Unchecked venereal diseases can cause cervical cancer, making carrying a baby harder.
