New & Miserable- TMI?

in Infertility

Hello Ladies,

I'm new to these boards (although I enjoyed TheKnot boards).

 A little background:  TTC for 7 months, diagnosed with PCOS 2 months ago and currently 9dpo on my first cycle of clomid.

 My issue:  Last week I got a uti, went to a CVS minute clinic since it was the only thing open and got an antibiotic and diflucan to prevent yeast infection- both of which I've taken and tolerated in the past with no problem.

 5 days after my initial visit to CVS I experienced pretty intense vaginal itching and my CM went from creamy to creamy/watery to watery.  It was the weekend so once again my Dr wasn't open and I headed to the local Planned Parenthood to see if I had a yeast infection.  I had absolutely nothing wrong- no yeast- no bacteria.  Also, I've been tested for everything under the sun about 4 times in as many months.

 This morning I woke up at 7am (not normal for me) because I am soooo uncomfortably itchy, my blatter is also irritated (not in pain like a uti- but I feel like I need to go constantly)

 I'm calling my RE as soon as they open but 2 days ago I was told I had nothing wrong at all.

Anyone have any idea whats going on?  OR how to get some relief?  I'm miserable!!!

TIA

    Ok, this is going to sound totally ridiculous but could you have dry skin? I live in a dry climate and my skin is very dry - especially this time of year. Occasionally I'll get super itchy down yonder with no yeast infection, UTI, or anything else. I'll put a little lotion on and that fixes the problem so I assume it's just dry skin. Your bladder being irritated is probably left over from the UTI. I haven't had one for years but I remember feeling that way for a while after the antibiotics - not pain just more aware and a little uncomfortable. I would absolutely call and see your RE or OB though! I'm sure they could figure it out.

    Thanks ladies, I'm waiting for them to call me back.  Depending on what they say I may call my urologist because I have had resistance to antibiotics with uti's in the past. 

     What type of lotion do you use?  I think I'm afraid to put anything down there!  Allergic reaction crossed my mind (because I'm allergic to everything) but the only things that have been recently introduced to my diet/environment are the clomid and metformin, I've been taking the metformin for a month and a half so I don't think it would be that.

     Hopefully my RE calls back soon!

    Your UTI may be resistant to the type of antibiotics you were prescribed at CVS.  I would ask your doctor to do a urine.  When the culture comes back it might show you need a different antibiotic.  Happened to me recently.  I hope you get it figured out and get some relief soon!

    Oh- also random dit bit that made me think it might be allergy- My skin is itchy from my about my belly button to underwear line.  I did take benedryl  the night before last and felt better the following day (tummy was still itchy though).

     AND generally with a uti or yeast infection if I take a shower I feel better.  This morning when I was rudely awoken by this uncomfortableness the shower did not help. :/

    Thanks cupcake- you may be right (although I hope not!)  But I will be having someone with more expertise test my urine ASAP to see if that's the case. 

    Still doesn't explain the random itchiness though-

    Clomid can do weird things to you. I'm guessing it's a combo of UTI/YI + Clomid. I hope you feel better soon!

    I use Cetaphil because I find it to be non-irritating. I have sensitive skin too. Did you change your laundry detergent or anything? I would rewash your undies and use a very sensitive lotion on the outside areas only! It sounds like you need a different antibiotic for the UTI. The itchies could actually be the result of the antibiotics. I don't know what it was but whatever they gave me while I was under at ER made me itchy like no other! They had to give me a shot of antihistamines because of it.

    So, my Dr still hasn't called back- I'm happy this isn't an actual emergency otherwise I'd be pretty upset.

     However, I did decide to use my Astepro (Nasal antihistamine that works in minutes)  and I started to feel better shortly after. 

     I have absolutely NO idea what it might be but I am allergic to the world so I'll try and figure it out while keeping my nasal spray near by.  

    Thank you all for your support, it was a rough morning so I really appreciate it!

    Hi NYCGal!  Nice to meet another PCOSer I was diagnoised in early december and did BC for a month a single large cyst.

    I was reading your siggy- whats the benefits of the baby asprin and vit D?

    Currently I'm taking:

    500mg Metformin 3xday (most amazing stuff ever)
    Astepro Nasal Spray at night
    5mg Levocetirizine 1xday (antihistamine)
    Prenaltal Vit 3xday
    Theracran 2xday

    I'm on cycle CD 25/ 9DPO on my first cycle of clomid at 50mg

    Update:  I went to my urologist today.  My uti never went away-  I'm on a new antibiotic and feel SO much better.  I also passed a small kidney stone- blah.  Thank you ladies for your support
