Frequent UTI's

Since I've been ttc, I've been getting UTI's during the days I'm ovulating, just about every month. Obviously BD is out when I'm in pain, so every month is out the window. Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do about it. (I'm already drowning myself in cranberry juice everyday)

Re: Frequent UTI's

did the dr. confirm these are UTI's..there could be an underlying issue if you keep getting recurrent UTI's every month.

Re: Frequent UTI's

Are you staying in bed after BD? That is probably why.

You can still get pregnant if you go to the bathroom right after BDing. That's what I'd suggest doing from now on to keep those UTIs away!

Hi...stopping in for a visit because I was TTC. This was my issue as well, and I went to a urologist. Someone else had mentioned interstitial cystitis on here, and it was my diagnosis. Cranberry juice is actually bad if you have this condition. If you need any info, you can send FM. Good luck!

Re: Frequent UTI's

I had this issue for a while too...you're not alone. Make sure you get up to pee after BDing.
Eat yogurt every day, and check it out with a urologist....

Re: Frequent UTI's

Make sure the juice is 100% juice. Ones with added sugar can actually make it worse.

Re: Frequent UTI's

This is probably TMI, but I used to get those like it was my job. My doc told me to drink water before any "activites" and make sure I urinated afterwards. GNC makes cranberry supplements that are more potent than juice; take one of those a day before your O time to help keep UTIs away. Pick up some acidopholus (sp??) also when you take anti-biotics. It's the active ingredient in yougart and will help prevent yeast infections.
