It could be something as simple as Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), or it could be something more serious. Please seek the advice of your doctor or gynecologist ASAP. 2 weeks is a little longer than normal for UTI. Take care.

Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young children include the following:
Diarrhea
Excessive crying that cannot be resolved by typical measures (e.g., feeding, holding)
Loss of appetite
Fever
Nausea and vomiting
Older children may experience the following symptoms with UTI:
Flank or lower back pain (with a kidney infection)
Frequent urination
Inability to produce more than a small amount of urine at a time
Incontinence
Pain in the abdomen or pelvic area
Painful urination (dysuria)
Urine that is cloudy or has an unusual smell
Symptoms of lower UTI (e.g., cystitis, urethritis) in adults include the following:
Back pain
Blood in the urine (hematuria)
Cloudy urine
Inability to urinate despite the urge
Fever
Frequent need to urinate
General discomfort (malaise)
Painful urination (dysuria)
Symptoms that indicate upper UTI (e.g., pyelonephritis) in adults include the following:
Chills
High fever
Nausea
Pain below the ribs
Vomiting
Complications
Hormonal changes and shifts in the urinary tract during pregnancy increase the risk for kidney infection. Prenatal care includes regular urine testing because bacteria are often present without causing symptoms and UTI during pregnancy may result in complications (e.g., premature birth, high blood pressure) for the mother and fetus. Diseases that suppress the immune system (e.g., HIV) and debilitating diseases (e.g., cancer, sickle cell anemia) increase the risk for urinary tract infections and complications.

That happened to me when I was young. It hurt really bad when I peed. I had a urinary tract infection. My mom took me to the doctor and he basically made me drink water and cranberry juice all day. I don't know. You should probably see a doctor though, could be something serious.

I don't believe that I would wait to find out what's happening. Call your doctor and get in to see him/her this week. You may have an infection, or some other issue going on.
