I just want to give up :( - Pregnancy Message Board

I posted last week about my UTI and yeast infection. Ive been on antibiotics now for 7 days and getting ready to start another round of 7 days on Macrobid. The pain is awful and I dont have any relief as of yet. The yeast infection is still there, but at least not as bad as it was. I really really just want to give up. Im still dealing with my m/s which has lessened a bit. But this pain I feel is over riding me. It burns when I go and it burns when I dont. Its a constant burning pressure feeling. I was told I can take AZO for the pain since Im allergic to the other stuff they gave me. And that does help, but the side effect I get from the AZO is throwing up. I feel alone and like this is never going to go away. I need some releif. Anyone had any similiar experienes with an UTI and found somthing that worked or helped? The Dr. said he may put me on a daily dose of Macrobid my whole preg, but shouldnt it be working by now? Maybe something else needs to be given to me. Why me? I feel like Im being punished. Im going in to have my c-section on Sept 30th and thas forever away, what do I do until then??

Hi -

Sorry you're having such a miserable time of it. I suggest drinking a lot of water every day between meals so maybe you won't throw up. Take AZO with meals so perhaps it won't nauseate you. If these things don't help, ask your OB about some antiemetic medicine (stops throwing up) you can try. Then maybe the AZO and water can keep your urinary system clear - at least until after Christmas.

Wishing you well - Barbara

Thanks for the reply. I have been drinking cranberry juice but Ill try just water. And I do eat with the AZO and it still doesnt work. I have some phenegran for nausea so Ill try that. Thank goodness I am 27 weeks and only 12 more to go. But can you imagine 12 weeks of this?!

wyliemom I am sorry for your troubles, I wanted to say you are one of the only people I've been able to relate during this pregnancy because we've had a lot of the same issues and are around the same far along. It has been such a rough ride, I'm ready to jump ship too. heh

I had a UTI at the begining of my pregnancy before I even realized I was and it was the worst thing! I lived on Cranberry juice which I don't like much at all.

I also had a yeast infection awhile back and they prescribed me some meds, I've been on antibiotics (for sinus though), phenegran and Zofran for extreme nausea which I still get to this day. I was throwing up so bad last night that my stomach was cramping.

They've got me on so many different prescribed sinus meds that aren't doing jack but making me jittery and sicker.

I don't have any advice really I'm just in the same boat and a lot of time feel alone because of it.

People always say WOW you've only got this much time left and I glare at them like "Don't even".

all I can say is good luck and hopefully we will get a little bit of relaxation before it's over. I told my man I will need a couple months just to recoop. hehe

MissT- Im sorry to hear you are also going through a rough pregnancy. Ive read your post about your sinus problems. Im on Reglan for the m/s but its not working so I stopped. Now Im just on Macrobid and the AZO, and lots of cranberry juice and water. It does feel like its never going to end, like Ill be miserable forever. They gave me gynazole for the yeast infection and you only use it one time. Well it helped a little but its still there. But what can we do? Just follow the Dr.s orders and whine to each other. Because our men definitly dont understand. I hope you start feeling better too. I know that I need some releif soon or I might have a break down..lol
