Hi, my name is Amy and im 24 years old, I eat healthy, I exercise, I have never smoked, and I drink socially. About three weeks ago I started to get symptoms of what I thought was a uti. I was being treated with cipro and it was helping. I had sex with boyfriend while I was on the cipro (probably not the best idea) and I got what I thought was another uti, my gynocologist said it was probably honeymoon cystitis. I was put on Macrobid and it just wasn't helping. I had to go to the bathroom like every 20 minutes and it was always a full stream of urine, even when I wasn't drinking a lot of water.
About a week ago I went to a urologist who credited my cystitis like symptoms to a change in birth control, I changed from yaz to yasmin. Has anyone ever experiences cystitis like symptoms from this? He also did a urine culture which came back with minor bacteria, which he said should have been sensitive to the Macrobid. He did not give me antibotic because he said a little bacteria in the urine is okay. He gave me uribel which I took a few times, but it did not seem to help that much.
I went to a urogynocologist today, I told her all my symptoms, and my heart dropped when she told me it's probably IC. She told me take Azo and Motrin for 5 days and to see how I feel. I made an appointment for March 28 to get testing to confirm if it is actually IC.
I'm just so nervous, the frequency has now gone away and I now have pelvic and stomach pains. Also, i'm nervous because now I don't think i'm peeing enough, i'm scared there may be something wrong with me kidneys. My parents and boyfriend tell me I need to calm down. I'm just so confused. I'm also really scared to have sex with my boyfriend, I don't want to trigger anything. I am a graduate student and I'm scared this will interfere with my course work. I know it might sound selfish, but I want to be able to go out and have social life without any worries. I would really appreciate your feedback and thanks in advance for reading. I will know for sure if I have IC on March 28, when I go for testing.
Thanks,
Amy
