I TTHTC (tried too hard to conceive) and all I got was...

this lousy UTI.

Share yours! (trying to keep a sense of humor here, after months of being discouraged by charting and perfectly timed intercourse, hopeful 2WW, and negative HPTs)

Ha,ha! I got my recent uti because of 50 shades of gray and subsequent activities, shall I call them. They're the worst!

[Anonymous]

Ha! Yes, they really are the worst!!!

Bahahahaha.... I had the same thing when I was trying! The little pills they sell at CVS offer temporary relief until you can get an antibiotic prescription, but ohhhhhhhh....the burning !!!!

I do have a funny story (kind of gross and TMI- but it wasn't me- so it is funny, too!) Two friends of mine went on a tropical vacation (think- crystal blue water)...... One had a UTI and had taken the tablets (that turn your pee VERY orange)....well...I guess she had to go pee while she was in the water.... and was surrounded by a big cloud of orange...... funny after the fact, but mortifying for her at the time.

Good luck with everything OP!

Agreed. When I am TTC, I postpone the pee for about 20-30 minutes, but make sure always to pee after sex.

There are a few brands but the one I find to be best is called AZO...it turns your pee orange but it works wonders. I dont like Cystex...does not work for me.

Hey Folks! If you're TTC, why not try a daily glass of sugar free cranberry juice? If you can handle it, it could be very helpful! This saved me many times when I used to get UTI's.

I no longer get them because I was taken off of all sugary drinks. Now I have one every now and then, but mostly sweeten with Stevia drops.

Actually sorry but this is not good advice. If anything they tell you to take the cranberry pill supplements because its all cranberry and no sugar. BUT if you have a UTI cranvberry due to acidity can make it worse sometimes. I just got over one I had almost 3 weeks (suspectible to bad bladder) and my doc said to stop all cranverry items.

For overall health take the pills not the juice unless its pure juice without any of the sugar (i.e. no ocean spray or crap that lasts months).
