Ok, so maybe that's not TOTALLY right, but it is starting to seem like when DH and I start having sex frequently I get a UTI (or at least UTI symptoms) After 3 rounds and 6 weeks of dealing with this I went to my GYN instead of my family doc. My GYN told me that some of her patients have this issue and they take a pill after having sex and it has helped a lot. Soooo... my symtoms came back and I called her about it. I picked up the script tonight and its "Nitrofur" generic for Macrobid and the directions say to take 1 daily and there's 20 pills in there. Grrr. I have to call them tomorrow and see if this is A: the right med, and B: do I take daily or only on the sex days? Macrobid is what they always give me to treat the UTI, that's why I'm confused.
So... this is a vent and also a request for advice, info... anything.

Question. Are you drinking alcoholic beverages on these sex nights?
I was having issues in my 20's and it ended up being whatever wine coolers I was drinking at the time.
That might be part of the issue? You need to drink a lot to flush the infection out too. Can you do a mix of juice and water, or water with lemon in it? I'm not great about it either, but usually if I make sure to fill up a big bottle (I have a Camelback) in the morning, it helps.

yup, this was the same for me. only thing that sucked was that I couldn"t be on the pill.
