UTI or PREGNANCY?

Question

Answer 1

There is some human evidence supporting the use of cranberry juice and cranberry supplements to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI), although most available studies are of poor quality. There are no clear dosing guidelines, but given the safety of cranberry, it may be reasonable to recommend the use of moderate amounts of cranberry juice cocktail to prevent UTI in non-chronically ill individuals. My Anatomy teacher in college told us that you would have to drink enough Cranberry juice to fill an entire room, for it to be effective. I would go ahead and take precautions just in case you are pregnant especially with the temptations of alcohol around the holidays. Wait until you have missed your first period and take a pregnancy test! If it is a UTI you really should go to the Doc..so you can get started on an antibiotic before the infection gets worse.

Answer 2

You don't want to go to the doctor anytime soon, but you're trying to conceive? You may want to look at your priorities.

Answer 3

I don't think cranberry cures it, it just prevents them. All you have to do is pee in a cup, and they give you antibiotics. Otherwise, your infection will get worse, and it will spread to your kidneys, and you will have a kidney infection. Trust me. It's happened to me.

Answer 4

sounds like a uri. infection rather than being pragnet. my opio see a .dr. better safe rather than sorry. /
