Arrrrgh...UTI (I think)!

So I think I have an effing UTI. :( I've only had one once, but it was a PITA to get rid of and I've tried to be careful ever since (peeing after sex, etc). I am super annoyed that this is happening and I am still in my FW! Waiting till my OB opens at 9 to call, but do you think we can still have sex as planned tonight if I do have one, get antibiotics and start taking them today?

Personally I wouldn't have sex until the UTI cleared up. I'm sorry. UTI are miserable.

Take a handful of cranberry extract supplements. It'll usually help out a lot. Hope you feel better soon.

I think it depends on what your dr says. Speaking from my experience, I've had sex with a UTI. It can be painful and actually make the UTI feel worse if not make it worse to where it lasts longer.

Hope you feel better!

Thanks ladies...I actually just called and they said to come in anytime so I can give a urine sample and get a prescription. I will talk to the dr and see what she says...of all times in my cycle for this to happen it would have to be now!

Yeah, I would not have sex. I'd just wait to see what your results are.

I've pushed it before and had the worst UTI I've ever had. It's not worth it.

 

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm just getting over one. I took those cranberry supplements and azo pills that make your pee bright orange. It's the only way I got through it till the antibiotics started working. I had it towards the end of my FW, right through O and we still HIO. Good Luck!

For about a year a while back I had frequent UTIs and the doctors (I saw my own, plus a walk in clinic and an ER doc - they always seem to show up in the middle of the night for me!) all told me to abstain from sex until it was cleared up, not that I was feeling up for it anyways.  I would definitely ask your doctor when you see them, you'd really hate to make it worse/last longer.  Hope you feel better soon!

Uggh.  I just had one last month and I got it right before FW.  It pretty much blew our chances because we didn't have sex until O day and after it, but I was later kicking myself wishing I had just sucked it up and done it.  (Wow doesn't that sound hot and sexy!)  I agree with PP about the AZO, it's pretty much the way to get relief until the antibiotics kick in.  My NP did say though that the antibiotics sometimes can help with conception because they can reduce any internal inflamation??  I'd never heard this before and I'm still skeptical but hey, they can't hurt! 

Good luck and feel better!

Bummer!  UTI's are no fun!  I was getting them every month TTC because I guess I'm just super sensitive!  I'd start taking a cranberry supplement daily!  I've been taking one for about 3-4 mos and haven't had a UTI since.  It works well!  :) 

Me - 32, DH - 32. We have been TTC #2 since January 2012.

Thanks again ladies!! Went to the doc this morning and gave a urine sample...won't have the results till Mon but she gave me a script in case the symptoms got worse. The weird thing is, I actually don't feel so bad now...and I must confess that DH and I did stick to our schedule tonight. <shameface> We will see if I regret that in the a.m.! At least it hasn't gotten any worse so far.
