I'm on antibiotics :(

in Trying to conceive
As my cystitis hadn't improved an awful lot since it started on Monday, I took myself to our local walk in centre this evening and have been prescribed antibiotics which I have to take for three days. Luckily they don't interfere with trying for a baby and don't cause harm if pregnant. She did a PG test which unsurprisingly came out negative, I did tell her that I was only 4dpo so it wouldn't show up anyway.

Anyway hopefully these will do the job and clear it up.

I talked to her about TTC and do you go to the loo straight after, or stick your bum and legs in the air. She seemed to agree that we stood the best chances if we didn't go to the loo straight away. She also said not to BD for the next 3-4 days - I laughed, at the moment BD is really the last thing on my mind!

    :lol: at her telling you not to BD, yeah right!!

    I stick my legs in the air, or OH grabs me by my legs and spins me around and props them up against the wall, there's a vision for you :lol:

    If we BD morning/day I usually give it at least half an hour before going to the toilet but if its at bed time I try to go to sleep without going to the toilet.

    I'm sure your cystitis is horrible but at least it's happened after OV, every cloud and all that image

    Good luck xx

    Oh bless you Brillbride - I feel your pain. I too had my peaks (on a CBFM) on Saturday and Sunday. We bd'ed both days but couldn't do it afterwards as my cystitis had kicked in. Hopefully we've done enough though. Hope the cranberry method is going well, this is the first time in six years that i've had cystitis and first time with antibiotics so i'm hoping they work. xx
