angry!!!!!!

[sleepyangel30]

i'm so angry ughhhh... i have a appointment set for monday.. well, i started my freakin monthly to early. i guess i can't get tested for a uti.. the doc on call called me back.. i told him i was on my monthly etc. he told me i may need to hold back and to call this nurse name s... on monday and talk to her. anyway, before he let me go he said i'm sorry youre not pregnant and laughed that really ticked me off ughhh i can just slap him.. is there any way i can get tested for a uti while i'm on my monthly? i think i have a uti it's driving me crazy. i'm peeing little.. smells funny and i'm burning down there ughhhh. oh i feel like i'am also running a fever.

I am almost positive the time I got a UTI, they still had me pee in a cup even though it was my time of the month. It comes from two different places, so I would think it wouldn't matter. But I don't know I could be wrong.

My GP tested me many times for UTI's while I was on my period. They just do the dip stick test in their office though. They never showed anything but blood in my urine which I told them was probably because of my period. Because I had the symptoms of a UTI they would just give me the antibiotics, now I know they were just flares. I don't see why they couldn't culture you're urine while you have your period. Even though it will take longer to come back then at least you'll know for sure. Of course I'm not the nurse or dr though.

Sleepyangel I don't know why the doctor could not tell you if you can or can not, that is strange. You probably will have to wait and call that nurse Monday. I know it is so upsetting especially when you are hurting, if possible, maybe going to the ER or maybe call the ER and see what can be done. I know it stinks that you have to wait for a while just to get an appointment and then your monthly period comes around. I kinda have a feeling this will happen to me too. I miss three months and then here it is again.

Sleepyangel I am so sorry you are going through this pain. I hope you can get the help soon.

Take care, Trishann

Only an IC patient would be glad it's "just" an infection. I hope you feel better very quickly.
