Bloody Doctors

They found some protein in my urine 2 weeks ago and sent it away for testing - 2 weeks later I finally get a letter saying I need to see my GP and get treatment for a UTI. WHY does it take sooooooo long to diagnose and treat cystitis??? So I've been walking around with it for the last 2 weeks.....surely they couldve told me that there and then? Good job I haven't got anything more serious.....grrrrr, rant over!

Grrr how frustrating!!

At least you have meds for it now, but GRRRR again at how long these things take!

Hope you feel more comfy soon - Give your body a break before the hard work begins! x

Aww hun that is an arse!! If it is cystitis, I swear by Cynamol sachets...the taste is not the best (let it settle once diluting and down it fast - have fresh water ready to take away the taste if needed!) stick to the recommended dosage and it will be cleared up in a couple of days

Thanks girls - are these ok during preg? Just been to docs and I decided against antibiotics - turns out the bug I have is resistant to all antibiotics except one type which may pose a small risk to baby so am stocking up on cranberry juice. But I'll get some Cynamol if they're safe to take? x

Geeze, 2 weeks? That's awful. I went in today and the doc took a look at the sample and prescribed immediate antibiotics for 1 week, it was a very fast diagnosis. I hope yours clears up soon (and mine! )

I asked my doc at 21 weeks when I had it then, he just asked how far I was then said yes, absolutely fine You may want to ask first if you're not sure - even just over the phone.
