False Bladder Infection

So I went to the doc and she told me I have a bladder infection I think I was high on Nitrates.. anyway, she gave me the antibiotics. I took them for three days and they called me and told me I do not have a UTI and to stop taking the antibiotics. Anyone know why I would come up having a bladder infection in the office but the culture said I didnt? Is there something else wrong?

that happens to me all the time, and they dont know whats causing my pain. its happened like 4 times during my pregnancy??

They actually tested your pee in the office and it said you have a bladder infection? Cause I didnt have any symptoms really

it is normal to have the white blood cells in your urine in pregnancy. My first pregnancy I had them and I was doped on antibiotics for the most part, to only find out in my second pregnancy that it was normal to have those in the urine. In my third I always had them and the doc always sent them away to be cultured but I never had a UTI..

Does it mean anything though???

Quoting BrittanyDavidson:“ Does it mean anything though???”

not unless it comes back as a UTI/bladder infection... And even then that can be treated with anitbiotics and hardly becomes serious.

Yeah I know that... I just thought it was wierd that it hasnt showed up through out my whole pregnacy and then all of a sudden. Well, sounds harmless.. Thanks girls

Hey I have been told several times that I do not have one and then when I come back, I actually do have one. If you are still feeling uncomfortable, have your doctor check you for Bacterial Vagonosis (spelling?) or BV for short. Twice, I thought it was a UTI and it was BV (my luck) but it has something to do with hormone levels.

Don't want to alarm you, but -- My neice went to the doctor's with pain and was told she had a UTI. She ended up miscarrying later that night.   She was 16 weeks.

Im so sorry bout that but I luckly didnt have any pain. The doc just tested my pee and said I had one (which after the culture I didnt). Ill keep that in mind if i have any pain though

ya it always showed up in the office pee test and never did on the culture they sent out.

HAHA weird I went to the doc today they were like well we did the test and it was negative for a UTI when all that stuff happened last week. But the antibiotics and pain stuff made it better. I asked my doc why that could have happened she said tests will come back negative somtimes. not 100% accurate or the urine could have been diluted.
