did you take an at home kit? Also you could try
D-Mannose first that might work!

i just did an at home kit and it tests for leukocytes and nitrates.
I tested positive for leukocytes but not nitrates. don't know what that means but I am in pain and feel like i have to pee all the time. It seems i must have an infection.

I'm pretty sure that is what my Dr was going to give me last week if it turned out my test was positive .. However, it was OK.
Hope you feel better soon. If you'd like to escape the same fate next time, get on D-Mannose and take it regularly. I have not had a UTI in more than 7 yrs since doing that.
I do have IC so it gets confusing sometimes@
HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!

thank you Lymetoo, that makes me feel better. I have already taken my first dose. will keep the D-mannose in mind for next time.
do you guys think it would be ok to take an epsom bath while I have a uti?
