UTI/OB Vent

So I posted a couple days ago that I think I have a UTI, I Haven't ever had one before and right now I'm currently 9 days pp. I called the OB yesterday and they told me to go to the hospital lab and leave a sample and call them at 4:00 for the results. So I did, called and they said there was no bacteria, but since I'm still having symptoms they'd send it to the dr who would call me, probably today. Do you think I got a call this morning? Sure I did, from my PCP's office! The RN said it was still suggestive that there was an infection and if the OB didn't call me back to call them back. So I called the OB back after this and speak with an RN, she immediately gives me the "well what are they looking at?!?" Totally bitchy as if I work for the drs ofc. I swear I could smack this woman. She starts going off about how well there was blood, but there should be, I just gave birth. So I explained that my lochia was mostly done and looking like the end of a period and then the other night bright red blood was in the toilet after I peed and on my pad in a different spot (where my urethra is) than where normal after birth bleeding comes from. I am still having pain and discomfort. So she gives me the whole "we'll send this to the dr on call (who is the dr who delivered me) and call you back" that was 2 hrs ago. So I just called my PCP back and they said they would have the RN Call me back. So now I wait...again. This is beyond frustrating. I just don't understand why it is so hard for me to get some damn antibiotics right now. I'm post partum, hormonal, uncomfortable, and extremely annoyed. Oh and I have an infant to take care of. I should be enjoying this time with my new baby, not crying because I just want to be healed and feel as normal as possible right now.

    I know how uncomfortable UTIs are. I hope you get relief/antibiotics soon! Until then, you might try OTC Azo Standard for the pain.

    Good news, after the run around both drs ofc were giving me, my mom actually came upstairs to our apt. To visit and I lost it crying and telling her the drs weren't being very cooperative. So she took care of me and called the OB's ofc and explained that I was sobbing and in pain (a little exaggerated, but oh well) I felt like a total baby since mommy had to call for me, but I really wasn't getting anywhere with them and I'd had enough. Honestly, how many calls does it take to get some damn treatment? The OB called me right back and told me to come in, and when I got there they said the dr didn't want to do a pelvic since I was only 9 days pp, so he just wanted to talk to me for a minute and give me an Rx. SUCCESS! Finally resting on my couch with my drunk on boob milk little babe and my first dose of antibiotic in me! Sweet relief.
