My period is due at the end of this week. I am waiting to take a pregnancy test but in the mean time, I have symptoms of a UTI. Is that at all possible?

Yes, UTIs while you are pregnant are fairly common. They say you are more prone to getting them when you are pregnant. U should see your doctor for an antibiotic. As far as the pregnancy test goes, I don't think having a UTI would interfere with the results because the test is looking for Hcg. Hcg is what your body produces when you are pregnant and it is expelled in your urine. A blood test is the most accurate test for preganancy though. Wish you luck!

Yes, it is possible. THat is one of the first things my doctor checked for besides pregnancy. The pregnancy came back positive, but the UTI didn't. Go to a doctor and tell her your symptoms.

Yes, UTIs are common during pregnancy. The best way to avoid them is take showers instead of baths, wear cotton underpants, and keep the area clean and dry. Drink some cranberry juice every other day.

Absolutely. UTI's are extremely common during pregnancy and a woman's immune system isn't as strong as normal so that her body doesn't reject the baby. I am pregnant with my 4th and had a UTI with my last two pregnancies. I had never had one in my life before that.

Yeppers I had a UTI when I was pregnant they didn't give me strong antibiotics b/c of the early pregnancy and I ended up with a kidney infection and on IV good luck!

yes it is very possible... I had 5 UTI's with my first pregnancy ... And I had 2 with my second pregnancy... I haven't had any with my current pregnancy thank GOD..... Good Luck... Make sure you go to your doctor because UTI's can be dangerous if left untreated and they'll give you some antibiotics that'll clear it up...

My doctor actually told me that a lot of women are more prone to infections (including UTI, yeast infections, and bacterial infections) while pregnant, as your hormones are all out of wack! I never had any of these until I was pregnant with my first child, and the funny thing was...I didn't even have any symptoms!
Get yourself to your doctor so that you can be checked for and if needed, treated with antibiotics :)

Sure is possible........while your at the doctors have them run a pregnancy test too. Get it all taken care of at once. That way if you are pregnant the doc can give you something that is safe for the baby too. Best of luck to you.

Yes, it is possible and can seriously affect a pregnancy. May as well head to the doctors and have it taken care of, while your at it tell them that you think you may be pregnant. Get checked for both in one visit.

you sure can! i did, but if you do think you are pregnant and think you also have a uti you need to talk to the Dr and they can prescribe meds to clear it up that are safe to take while pregnant too. Good luck with your pregnancy!!
