Hi, Anon, and welcome to EmpowHer! Let's see what we can figure out for you.
It sounds like the burning or chafing was possibly just due to lack of lubrication. I agree with you that since there is no burning or irritation when you urinate that it's probably not a urinary infection.
Regarding the nausea, did it start immediately? Like, that day or the next morning? At that point, even if a conception had occured, the embryo wouldn't even have implanted yet, so it wouldn't be a sign of pregnancy. Usually women start feeling nauseous about the time of their first missed period.
If there is a chance for chlamydia after all, here are two good sources of information:
When I read the symptoms of chlamydia, while a couple of them seem to be similar to what you're describing, not all of them do. Both sources say that if there are going to be symptoms (many people stay asymptomatic even though they have it), they will appear 1 to 3 weeks after exposure. Chlamydia is diagnosed with a swab test and treated with antibiotics.
And yes, the pain you experienced could very likely be caused by ovarian cysts. From how you describe it, I wouldn't be suprised. I had these in the past and the pain was very localized near the ovary and very sharp. Do you often feel it when you ovulate? Sometimes when a woman has ovarian cysts she is more likely to actually feel a slight pain when the ovary releases an egg.
Of course I'm not in the medical field, but I wouldn't think that your abnormal pap in the past would be connected to these symptoms. That would seem more connected to cervix and uterus functions.
I'm glad you have a doctor's appointment, more to put your mind at ease than anything else. Please write back and give us an update when you learn something.
