Hi ya'll how are you? I am having something strange happening. I know that this is TTC which I am TTC#2..I have been posting here. Although this questions is a little off topic..maybe you all could help since I am starting to get to know all of you.

Ever since TTC#2 I have been feeling the urge to urinate, although I go and sit on the toilet and nothing...for like 10 mins and then finally it comes, a lot too. This is happening every time that I have to go to the bathroom. Does anyone know what this is about? Or maybe you could lead me in the right direction.


Thanks so much

Jenn

Hi Jenn,

I don't know but do you have any burning sensation when you pee? Does it have a strong smell? I'm asking because it can be a UTI (urinary tract infection) but I'm not sure.

Good Luck

not quite sure... have you tried running the water in the sink? that often helps~ and lean forward, with or without hand on lower abdomen~ that's what i usually did when i had that problem, though it was after conception~

are you drinking a LOT of water? do you wait to go until after you REALLY REALLY need to? sometimes if you wait too long, it is harder to make it flow... if you're still having trouble, try drinking a small glass of water just before sitting, and run the water, and that should help a lot! it's also quite common to have trouble urinating if you're constipated, so if that's a problem, lots of fruit, lots of fiber... take care of that, and it will clear up the other on its own~

if you still are unsure, and are getting worried, call your doctor~ never hurts to check in over the phone, and if it sounds serious to them, they will have you come in.

good luck hon~ hope that helps a little
