Do I have a bladder infection or am I pregnant?

I am actually trying to figure out if I am pregnent! and I came across this, I think you 2 should do a pregnancy test! I wud b shockd if you had a bladder infection but in sayin that im not a doctor. but I have the same symptoms and I don’t have a bladder infection. well I wish you and others good luck in trying 2 work out it all and hope that it all is good news thnx, katherine.

Wow, I have exactly the same symptoms… It started with a niggly pain about a cm away from my hip bone, but until the other day I didn’t need to pee a lot, but that was because I was letting myself get dehydrated, since I’ve been drinking more, (about 3/4 pints a day) I’ve been peeing loads. I was diagnosed on Monday evening with a bladder infection. The nurse practitioner at my local minor injuries unit did a dip test on a urine sample and I had nitrites and leukocytes in my sample. There was no blood or protein. She gave me Trimethroprim to take 2 of a day, she also said to take them for 7 days instead of the usual 3/5 days because of my raised temperature she thought it could be on my way to my kidneys. I’ve been taking the medication as directed since Monday night, the NP, said that I should start to notice them working (IE pain easing etc) within 48 hours. Although I don’t feel as hot as I did the other day, I am still getting the niggly pain and soreness (my old c-section scar occassionally feels like something is pushing on it) around the whole area below my belly button and in my hip and groin area. It’s not as often as it was before though.

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes before the pain eases?

Thanks in Advance :)

yeah you should get a pregnancy test but I think it’s a bladder infection either way go see your doctor

It could be either or my best bet for u is to take a pregnency test…n if that ends up bein negative i would go see ur doctor.
