I drank more than 2/3 of one yesterday but all it did was give me the runs! (TMI? Sorry!) Thank goodness for antibiotics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241988 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:14:45 +0000 mrs. bird 241988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: hahaha i was thinking the same thing about the glorious magic orange pee pills! i big pink fuzzy heart orange pee pills! prescription orange pee pills are the best, the ones at the drug store, azo, just give me orange projectile vomit =/</p> <p>i'm so sorry about your UTI =( they are miserable! fortunately once you get on the antibiotics, you should start to feel better fairly soon. the first month i came off BC, we were camping, and i got a UTI that spread to my kidneys because i didn't get it treated soon enough, then i got my period &amp; ended up non stop vomiting from the antibiotics they gave me. worst. camping. trip. EVER. and it poured the whole time. </p> <p>as far as it impacting your chances of conceiving this month, i doubt it. i mean any time something is off in your body &amp; your body is exerting its resources trying to fix the problem- illness, infection, etc, it's not an ideal environment, so it's probably not going to help, but i don't think your UTI would be enough of a trauma to really do much damage. do you know if you did in fact O? maybe if you're feeling up to it, BD tomorrow just incase your O was delayed because of your infection. hope you feel better soon &amp; good luck at the dr on thursday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241934 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:44:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 241934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drink lots of cranberry juice! It's supposed to be good helping uti's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241918 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:29:59 +0000 Trailmix 241918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Moderndaisy Thanks, me to!!</p> <p>@Strawberrybee Haha, that was me yesterday, I literally sprinted from the drug store to my apt but alas, did not make it in time...brutal :)</p> <p>@tidybee Thanks for the commiseration and your (non-medical) opinion! Also, thank you so much for the wall post, I really appreciated you sharing!! Do you think being on antibiotics will affect my first RE apt on Thursday?!!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241775 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:56:13 +0000 Tidybee 241775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: Ugh! that sucks!! I had a UTI about 5 years ago, and I am cringing now thinking about how much pain I was in. That being said, in my non-medical opinion (ha), it shouldn't affect your chances of getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241745 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:31:02 +0000 StrawberryBee 241745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried to conceive while suffering a UTI so I can't comment on that, but I can commiserate! UTI's suuuuuuck! I've had about ten now in the last three years (I'm prone to them or something...yay me) and I have to say that the first time was definitely the worst, because I let it go way too long before going to the doctor. Now every time I have to pee more frequently I obsess over whether or not I'm developing one (I've become a pro at the early symptoms).</p> <p>When I picked up my meds the first time I had it I begged the staff at CVS to let me use the employee bathroom (gotta pee NOOOOOOWWWW) and I practically cried every time I had to 'go'. And at the doctors they made me freaking wait to do the pee test and I had stocked up on water because I was going so frequently, so yeah, nearly peed on the chairs in the waiting room.</p> <p>You should start feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241738 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:22:48 +0000 Trailmix 241738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for your responses and reassurances, I really appreciate it!</p> <p>@Mrsbrewer The orange pills are freaking me the f*ck out, I do not like them at all!! Just seems so unnatural, not a fan...they also do not seem to be working that well bc I am still in a lot of pain :(</p> <p>@Jessiej017 Thanks for the reassurance!</p> <p>@Jojogirl Thanks, you are always so awesome :)</p> <p>@Greenthumb Thanks for the sympathy, I really needed it!</p> <p>@Looch ya, on antibiotics too, which is part of the reason I'm worried about if they would affect our chances of conceiving...</p> <p>@Chibee I was hoping I'd feel better this am after taking two rounds of the antibiotics but I don't...hopefully tmrw! Thanks for the biology reminder, def needed to hear that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241734 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:19:56 +0000 Modern Daisy 241734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, you poor thing!! :( I hope you feel better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241720 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:09:37 +0000 chibee 241720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally feel your pain! but UTI is a bacterial infection in the urethra region, nowhere near your cervix, so I would assume it doesn't have any effect on your chances? Anyway I kind of thought those pills were fun - when I got them once in college my ex bf and my roommate both took my pills to see if it would turn their pee orange too (it did) - and the antibiotics usually clear up the UTI within a day! for me it literally took 24 hours to clear up. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241713 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:03:29 +0000 looch 241713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get terrible UTIs, but I'd have to take antibiotics to clear them. The orange pee pills didn't treat the infection.</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241695 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:55:20 +0000 JoJoGirl 241695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you guys BDd the 4-5 days before O, you should still be in for this month. Sorry to hear about all the pain :( Feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241694 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:55:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 241694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No fears, I had a UTI literally 2 weeks before we conceived! I just finished the antibiotics a day or two before I ovulated, so you should be safe!<br /> It sucks and it's painful, best advice take some OZO pills to help, they are lifesavers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241691 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:54:37 +0000 GreenThumb 241691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: Sorry to hear about the UTI! I hope you are feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241662 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:37:15 +0000 MrsBrewer 241662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not trying to get pregnant, but I've had UTI's before! Not fun at all. Just wanted to comment on that pill that makes your pee orange. That pill is a magic pill actually, it actually is for pain. It helps kind of numb your bladder, that way the urge to pee isn't as frequent. Plus it makes your pee an awesome color!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/utiholy-hell-could-it-affect-my-chances-of-conceiving#post-241655 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:34:12 +0000 Trailmix 241655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all, OMG, I have never had a real UTI before and it is AWFUL!! Like, want to curl up in a ball and die and never pee again, please...I'm on antibiotics so it's slowly starting to get better but damn, I hope this never happens again!</p> <p>Anyways, it started yesterday, which was either O day or 1 DPO...Could this affect my chances of getting pregnant?? I'm sooo bummed because I feel like we're completely out now, like there's no way with all the stress my body is going through that we'd be likely to conceive...Are the two related at all? </p> <p>Ugh, this sucks. Plus, I had to take this scary pill that makes my pee completely orange, which is so so so freaky and also, now I have no idea if it messed with my fertility monitor reading this morning.</p> <p>Anyone have any insight on UTI's and getting pregnant? Maybe make me feel better or distract me from my burning, painful misery? Oh yeah, and on top of everything else, I have to give a presentation at 4 today. I might literally die. </p>
