Just an update of my suspected UTI. The lab result was negative. My increased visits to the loo stopped after a day of antibiotics. The pelvic discomfort continued, moving to my lower back like period pain. I decided to continue the 7 day AB course. In the meantime I'd noticed blood trace on my vagifem applicator. I had an exam, swab, all normal. Blood test for the ovarian cancer marker, normal. Waiting for ultrasound scan. The pains stopped after the full AB course. I'm now wondering about urine tests. My GP was puzzled too. I read info about how even lab ones can be wrong. In any case I'm having a good MOT down there. She's told me I can use the vagifem more often if I need to but suggested ovestin twice a week but to just find what controls symptoms and to continue with the profalactic AB. She said so many women must be suffering, they only mention hot flushes etc if anything at all. At last someone who listened and reassured.
