If you DO mean is it a good idea to become pregnant while you have chlamydia NO it is NOT as it increases the possibility of complications. It's a fairly common, quite mild sexually transmitted infection. Lots of people have it (many completely unaware of it) and treatment isn't an unpleasent ordeal or difficult. So time for a visit to the doctor I think? And you'll be fine. And to confirm, having it will not keep you from getting pregnant right now (it's not a contraceptive!) and it won't affect your possibility of becoming pregnant if and when you want to in future if you get it treated. And having it untreated for a week (or more) hasn't hurt anything either. It's the complications that develop during pregnancy WITH untreated chlamydia that can mess up your future chances of having children, NOT the infection itself. OK?

If your asking if Chlamydia can prevent you from becoming pregnant in the future. The answer to that question is yes as well if left untreated.
Excerpt from Wikipedia: can cause scarring inside the reproductive organs, which can later cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, difficulty becoming pregnant, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and other dangerous complications of pregnancy.
Below are two websites I found that will do a far better job of explaining the disease than I can. I suggest you follow the links and read up on it.
