“frequent” utis

In my 4 years of being sexually active, I have had 3 UTIs.

My mom thinks I’m doing something wrong and says it’s “not normal to have that many”

I pee after sex, but sometimes it takes a couple hours.

On Sunday I was on my period when my boyfriend and I didn’t it. After I went to pee but couldnt, so I put the tampon in, mistake, I know, but I a couple hours later I peed.

Typically symptoms show that day, but i didn’t get any till late Tuesday. All I am doing is peeing more at night and a constant need to urinate. My idea was solidified when we had sex yesterday and it felt off. I had to tell my mom I think I have one, but I know she thinks I’m gross.

This will be the second time ive gotten one from my boyfriend and I wonder if he’s doing something weird.
