So Sick of This...

The spotting came back, and hasn't really stopped in four days. I'm sick of calling my doctor and hearing that it's completely normal. I'm hoping that once I hit 10 weeks all of this will stop.
To top it off, a few weeks ago, one of the RNs at my Dr.'s office thought I might have a UTI. NOW, I get my test results from my appointment on the 3rd and there's bacteria in my urine. They couldn't CALL me and tell me this?!? A UTI can have really bad effects on pregnancy, including m/c. So, I e-mailed the Doctor and asked him if I should be on antibiotics. I just feel like we should be doing something about this, rather than waiting almost a week to even find out there's an issue! Urgh...
I was finally starting to be excited about this pregnancy.

Oh sweet heart,


I am so sorry that you are dealing with all this frustrating stuff. Having spotting for one can be very upsetting and then a UTI also is

I agree with Jenn, you should call your doctor and tell him you want to come in and discuss the UTI.

Thanks everybody! I DID call my doctor since they didn't call me, and they said that they didn't culture it, so it may have been any type of bacteria, and it may have been contaminated.
The worst part I think is trying to answer the questions about symptoms of a UTI. "Do you have light abdominal cramping?" "Do you feel the need to urinate frequently?" "Are you nauseous?" Duh--yes, yes, and yes. I'm pregnant!
Anyway, they ended up telling me that they didn't think it was a big deal, and they'd call me after they looked at all of my test results for that day if I needed to come in.
Who knows? On the upside, it seems as if the spotting has slowed dramatically. That probably just means I'll start bleeding in a few days again... *sigh* I just wanna be excited this time.
