Signs of a UTI but, no Signs of Bacteria, Pregnant?

Q: I have a history of reoccurring UTI’s from hydronephrosis in my left kidney and I know what a UTI feels like because Ive had so many in the past. The signs are pain in back where kidney is located, frequent urination, and trouble emptying bladder completely. Well, now it’s harder to convince doctors that I feel like I have a UTI being 6 months pregnant because the doctors want to relate every symptom I’m having to pregnancy. My symptoms have been getting worse with more pain in my kidney now and the doctor I saw today said it was ligament pain from a growing baby and he also said he didn’t find any bacteria in my urine. The doctor was very demeaning and aggressive towards me as if I were making things up. He kept hitting his head with his hand and said “I’m trying to educate you.” He repeated over and over “theres no bacteria, theres no blood, theres no sign of a UTI.” The prognosis he gave me didn’t seem right at all. He said the baby sitting on my bladder and growing caused me to urinate frequently and the pain in my back was the weight of the baby. Even the few cramps I had in the front indicating a pelvic infection meant nothing to my doctor, he saw it as round ligaments being stretched out. I think doctors don’t take any woman serious when shes pregnant because none of mine are and this is ridiculous! I feel really frustrated! The last time a doctor told me they didn’t find any bacteria, I did end up with a bad UTI and I was treated in the emergency room. I need to know what other options are available for me if no doctor will help me. The big concern is that UTI’s are the third leading cause of miscarriage and pelvic infections are the second leading cause. Somethings not right if a doctor doesn’t want to help their patient!

A: I have had hundreds of bladder infections starting when I was 8 years old. Unfortunately my old ignorant Dr failed to allow me to go to a specialist to find out the problem and get it fixed before I got pregnant. My husband and I were trying to conceive and it was known by my Dr. Anyways to make a long story short I had 2 bladder infections during the first month of my pregnancy. I have since been put on a 50mg preventative antibiotic for my entire pregnancy. But with that said I thought I had a bladder infection recently. I know all the signs as I’m sure you do and swore I did. But when they did the urine test I came up clear. So pregnancy can definitely mimic a bladder infection and I’m sure it can do the same for a UTI. So if the test came back clear I really believe you don’t have one. You can always get a second opinion though.

did my friend REALLY have a miscarriage? or seeking attention?

Q: lately i have noticed its become very popular for younger girls to tell people they are pregnant, for attention i guess. we are not really in that age group (my friend and i) and in my opinion, we are pretty mature for our age. we are 18. she said she was pregnant for about 12 weeks and had a miscarriage. she had bleeding and very uncomfortable during sex and a nasty grayish discharge. she allegedly went to the emergency room and they told her her levels werent duplicating and thats a leading cause of a miscarriage and to see her obgyn. she did this and they told her she will have a d&c.i didnt know whether or not to believe her in the first place, because she said she was pregnant a week after “the sex”.im not a doubter usually and im not trying to put down my best friend. i just wanted to know if this was all possible and thought ppl on here could explain it to me. my question is.. the levels she was talking about, what are these? and the d&c wont she have to stay in the hospital and not be able to get pregnant again for a little while? im no expert in all this, so i was hoping you could explain this all to me. if she is telling the truth, i need to be there to comfort her!

A: Wow..okay..First of all you’re a HORRIBLE friend..Secondly–unless there are complications NO women do not stay in the hospital after a D&C it is a “day surgery” they are out in few hours.. You can become pregnant at anytime after sex up to 3 or 4days after..most publications indicate that a women is most fertile on day 14 of her cycle although not everyone (infact BARELY anyone) ovulates on day 14 of their cycle..) They gray stuff you described was her baby..and the levels are her HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) a hormone produced in excess by pregnant women) She could get pregnant again very shortly after though it is not advisableHow about trying to be more supportive rather than being so judgmental of your friend..this is probably a really hard time for her..Have you ever lost a baby or had a D&C I can assure neither are pleasant! .

A: anything is possible.And i’ve had a D&C, it’s completely outpatient. I was there and gone in under 2 hours.The levels they are talking about is the HCG levels, which double every day of pregnancy.Don’t be so shady about what your friend is telling you, support her.
