What is going on here?

Quick question: Last month I had flare like symptoms but I also had some bleeding, so I went to my family doc and he checked for UTI, but it came up normal. So, I just dismissed it as a fluke- It was light bleeding and only happened for two days. But now I'm having flare symptoms again and bleeding for the past two days when I urinate-it is still light bleeding and it's not everytime. I know bleeding isn't supposed to be a sign of IC, but could it be? :toilet:

It might be time to see a urologist or your gynocologist. Usually blood is a sign to get checked out and rule out other problems. It may be nothing to be concerned about but let a Dr. make that call.

Keep us posted....

Dyno is absolutely right, it's very important to check with your doctor about this. But I know that some ICers do sometimes have blood when they urinate, and it's just from the IC.
