Sorry TMI But Need Advice Please

[addie140910]

Sorry ladies this is kindave weird, but I have had what I thought to be a UTI for the last month or two. It is horrible, always needing to go to the potty, burning, etc, (Something like 2 weeks ago) I was put on antibiotics to cure the UTI, which was great, the symptoms seemed to get a little better, etc. However for the last week it has been like i have a uti all over again with all the symptoms in full swing!

I had to go to the ER 2 nights ago and they checked my urine testing for UTI, and there was absolutely no sign of infection, and the (male) doctor had no idea what was wrong so despite me being in pain they sent me home (they did check the baby's heartbeat and it was fine.)

I drink plenty of water (about 4 or 5 32 ounce / day) Drinking cranburry juice doesn't seem to be doing any good , nor does drinking water :/

Is there ANYTHING I can do to cure this disaster? I am in so much discomfort that I have literally just laid down and cried. I know that some discomfort is to be expected during pregnancy, and I am greatful that my bean is doing well (I am 18 weeks, but still call him/her baby bean) but it is just so frustrating

Thanks for your help ladies!

wish I could give you some advice... I had a UTI last weekend, just finished my medication today. Luckily, it seems to have worked so far. I know how you are feeling. I was going crazy last sunday night before I had my medicine. The doctor I saw said the cranberry stuff doesn't work, just drink clear fluids. So, keep drinking and if it doesn't help, I'd go back to the doctor......
