Check discount airfare sites, like Skyscanner, at least once a day looking for deals to your destination or just a low price ticket anywhere. The more flexible that you can be with your destination and dates, the better options you'll get. Don't be afraid to travel budget airlines, as they'll likely offer fewer amenities but cheaper fares. Sign up for email or text alerts on the websites and they will reach out to you when prices drop. You can also sign up for an app, such as Hopper, which will track flight prices for you. Before you press that final "Book" button, make sure that you know exactly what you are getting, including any associated taxes or fees. For example, some websites may tack on extra administrative charges to the initial price. If you are looking for a deal, grab the first flight offered in the morning, as it will usually cost less. The same goes for Wednesday travel, as it's often much cheaper than a weekend ticket. Consider taking an "open-jaw" route, which means you'll fly into one city and leave from another. It's also a better deal to fly on Tuesday or Saturday. Avoid Friday and Sunday travel at all costs, as they are the priciest. If you can't do an early morning flight, your next best options are the times immediately surrounding lunch or dinner. Go to your airline's website and read through their fee listings. This will tell you if they'll charge for priority boarding, checking in online, or bags of a certain weight or number. Some airlines also make you pay high prices for any food or beverages. In this case, you can save a lot of money by bringing some snacks onboard. If you've got a reliable personal car, go ahead and use it. Another option is to get a rental car; just make sure to comparison shop for rates. If you are uncertain if flying or driving will be cheaper, go online to a "gas tool" website and enter your route and car model. The site will provide you with a cost estimate. The parks service in your area might even provide suggested scenic drives on their website.

If a doctor treated you for an initial chlamydia infection, get retested for the disease in approximately three months and at regular intervals thereafter. This will help ensure that the disease has left your system and that you are no longer contagious. Continue testing for sexually transmitted infections with each new sexual partner. Recurrence of chlamydia is very common and is often treated with the same course of antibiotics. If infection recurs after a follow up test that showed no infection, this is a new infection. Avoid using douches if you have or have had chlamydia. These products kill good bacteria and raise the risk for infection or recurrence. The best way to treat chlamydia is to avoid getting it. Using condoms and limiting the number of your sex partners will minimize your risk for contracting the disease or having a recurrence. Always use condoms during sexual contact. Although condoms will not eliminate your risk of getting chlamydia, they will reduce your risk. Abstain from any sexual intercourse or sexual activity, including anal and oral sex, during treatment. Abstinence can help avoid reinfection or passing the STD to your partner. The more sexual partners you have, the higher your risk of getting chlamydia is. Try to limit the number of partners you have to decrease your risk, and always use condoms with your partners. Certain factors can increase your risk of getting chlamydia. Being aware of them can help you reduce the likelihood of contracting the disease. If you are under 24 years of age you are at a higher risk for the disease. If you've had multiple sex partners within the past year you are more likely to get chlamydia. Inconsistent use of condoms can significantly increase your risk of getting chlamydia. If you have a history of sexually transmitted diseases, including chlamydia, you are at an increased risk of contracting the disease.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, you also need to consider if you fall into the high risk group of ectopic pregnancies. Certain factors increase a woman's likelihood of experiencing an ectopic pregnancy. Generally, women who have had an ectopic pregnancy in the past are more likely to experience such pregnancies in the future too. Other risk factors include: pelvic infections (sexually transmitted infections), multiple sexual partners (as this increases the chance of unknown STI's), fallopian tube tumors or abnormalities, previous abdominal or pelvic surgery, having an IUD, endometriosis, or smoking. Also, if a woman has had "sterilization" (also known a "tubal ligation" surgery, when her "tubes are tied" in an effort to prevent future pregnancy), although this is normally very successful in preventing pregnancy if one were to become pregnant the risk of it being an ectopic pregnancy is notably higher. This is the first step towards the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy. -HCG is a hormone that is secreted by the developing embryo and placenta, so it rises as the pregnancy progresses and is a more definitive (and reliable) form of pregnancy test. If the -HCG level is above 1500 IU/L (often between 1500-2000 IU/L is suspicious), but no pregnancy is seen with ultrasound, doctors will worry about you having an ectopic pregnancy. This is because the -HCG levels are normally higher in ectopic pregnancy than in normal intrauterine pregnancies, so it is certainly a cause for suspicion. If an ectopic pregnancy is suspected due to your -HCG levels, your doctor will follow this up with a transvaginal ultrasound to see if she can visualize a pregnancy, and its location. These ultrasounds can detect 75-85% of ectopic pregnancies (the growing fetus will be able to be seen on ultrasound in that percentage of cases, which confirms its location). Note that a negative ultrasound does not rule out an ectopic pregnancy. A positive ultrasound (one that confirms the presence of a pregnancy in the fallopian tubes or elsewhere outside the uterus), however, is enough to make the diagnosis. If the ultrasound is negative (i.e. inconclusive), but the -HCG level is high and your symptoms are enough to concern your doctor that you may have an ectopic pregnancy, your doctor will likely recommend a "diagnostic laparoscopy," which is a simple surgery with very small incisions where they can insert cameras into your abdomen to have a clearer look. If your blood tests and ultrasounds seem inconclusive, and an ectopic pregnancy is still suspected, your doctor may perform a diagnostic laparoscopy to visualize your pelvic and abdominal organs internally to look for the spot of implantation. This procedure usually lasts for 30 minutes to an hour.
