My doctor made me get a urine culture while on macrobid because I’m still having symptoms, but it came back negative, but isn’t it just gonna be negative because I’m on an antibiotic?? I’m gonna get retested once I’m off the anabiotic for a few days because I’m still having the symptoms, but do you think that’s reassuring or that doesn’t even matter ?
So I’ve been dealing with a UTI for the past two months. I started getting frequency and urgency and I took d mannose and it got worse, developed back pain, got cultures done and went on 7 day course amox clav. Tested positive for c koseri. Then I started getting the frequency back, went back on amox clav and got my culture back positive for c koseri and k pneumoniae. Felt a little better but not really then started getting the frequency and some burning, went on 3 days of bactrim & on day 4/7 macrobid right now, cultures came positive for k pneumoniae and e faecilies. I’m still have frequency, trying to wait it out before getting re tested bc I don’t want a false negative while on abx. I’m losing hope this is going away and getting really frustrated this will ever go away. I plan to get retested next week after being off the abx for 4 days to see and if it’s positive idfk what to do if it is. I don’t want more antibiotics. the only one that treated both was cipro and I’m kinda against it bc all the black box warnings. I’ve looked into mryhh extract and part of me is thinking should I start taking that after I finish the macrobid. I’ve also been taking NAC with the macrobid because I read it’s a biofilm disrupter. I just want this to end. No more mf UTIs. I bought Gemma MD and d mannose that I plan to take every day once this is over but rn it feels hopeless and annoying lol.
