Cystitis (sp?)

[kimisgirl]

My first symptoms were a small bout of cystitis and thrush so when I went to confirm BFP's Dr gave me a pessary for Thrush, and that cleared up nicely. I thought cystitis has gone also but it's back today with a vengence and I feel really uncomfortable. My Dr's appoinment isn't until monday and I know I can't take regular over the counter treatment for it, do you guys reckon I should go see Dr b4 Monday ??

cranberry juice....works a treat

Oh yeah should have said ..... I can't drink cranberry juice (same goes for Orange) I have ISS (irratable stomach syndrome) and Those juices put me in agony

then take 1 paracetamol every 2 hours with lots of water. this is the only time doctors say its okay to take 2 paracetamol every 2 hour but as you are pregnant I would halve it and only do this for 1 day. It usually can be flushed through with a lot of water and avoiding spicey food.
Good luck if it doesn't clear ask in the pharmists and tell them you are pregnant and they should sort you out with something thats safe

i would try and see dr or nurse tomorrow or fri, best to get it cleared up so it doesn't get worse.

Definitely pop to the doctors, I'd say. If you can. As Chellieboo says, you don't want to risk it getting any worse over the weekend.

G'luck, hope it sorts its self out)

Thanks Girls,

I got to see my Dr yesterday evening and she did a pee test. Found Blood in my wee which suggests a UTI. Waiting for the results of that but in meantime she has given me a 3 day course of Antibiotics and rec'd Vagisil for the discomfort. Seem to be a bit better this better thankfully.
