We have been TTC for almost two years and I have been battling horrible UTIs almost the entire time. I honestly, can’t even say when is the last time I felt “normal” down there because of it.

Most of my UTIs don’t have any symptoms so I will always think they are gone, go to a follow up with my urologist and come back to find I do have an infection (it’s like the bacteria keep taking turns on who is going to attack me next). Meanwhile I am recovering from my laparoscopy where they did find endometriosis and so I was thinking we were on the right track, only for the UTIs to persist.

I am now on day four of Macrobid and while I know it’s still early on my treatment, right now I feel this strange discomfort again on my urethra (almost like I want to pee, but that’s the only part of my body telling me I need to pee if that makes sense) and it’s just making me feel so defeated. I have to continue the Macrobid for 12 more days and then I will be put on a lesser dose for three months as a preventative (although there is still a chance it won’t prevent all bacteria).

I’ve made posts about my UTIs before so I’ve heard a lot of advice but I am just angry at my body for refusing to stay healthy. I was supposed to be using these next couple of months to get my body on top shape to start TTC again, and yet here I am still fighting infections.
