Oh come on!

So on top of the worst cramps I have ever experienced (the curled up in a ball crying under my desk kind) I now have a UTI as well. I wonder if thats why the cramps are so bad. Any way, my boss said I looked horrible and made me go home thank goodness. So now I am on the couch snuggled up with my ol' BFF the heating pad. This thing spends enough time between my legs, it deserves a name! Got any good ones?

    I was thinking about you today! I haven't actually gotten the results from the culture yet, but the nurses are pretty sure it's a UTI. I wonder now how it will actually turn up.

    In my fresh cycle in November, after my ER I wanted to die every time I went to the bathroom. The cramping was just absolutely ridiculously bad (like it is now). Around the transfer it finally died down, and then after the BFN and I went off all the drugs it started back up again. I blamed it first on the ER and just leftover pain from that, and then I blamed it all on AF.

    This time I did a FET so no ER. I started getting the god awful cramps again 2 days after started the progesterone and then it died down right around transfer. I still had some cramping, but nothing like before. Now after going off all the meds again, the kill me cramps are back.

    So I am wondering if my body is just really sensitive to changes in progesterone? Starting yesterday though I actually started having the terrible burning when I pee, so I am pretty sure I have developed a UTI. Sorry for the rambling, I am just trying to figure out what the F is going on with my body!

  • Did they give you a urinary tract analgesic?  If not, I'd call and see if they'll give you a prescription.  Ask for phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium).  It's a life saver.  Sorry you're having trouble Scubadoo.  :(

    That name still makes me giggle!

    I will certainly ask for that scrip. That sounds really nice!

  • Trust me, you'll be so glad to have it.  One pill will relieve the unbearable burning and you can take it once every four hours.  After my D&C this week, I've had terrible burning from the catheter and the pyridium has made me feel so much better.  They probably won't give you a script until they determine if you have an infection.  It's worth asking about in advance though.
