I suffered a few years ago badly with a very difficult UTI that kept coming back and recurring strep throat, I was on rounds and rounds of antibiotics. It was a very low point in my life, the antibiotics made me lose a lot of weight because I felt so sick taking them. This was the start of health anxiety for me, I’ve struggled with bladder issues since then but nothing major. Last week I got a UTI for the first time in 2 years since this all happened, I’m on antibiotics again now, I’m spiralling so much that I’m going to be stuck in this cycle again. I have a lot coming up with work, social life etc and I can feel myself slipping into this anxiety / depression that I was in a few years ago and I’m terrified.

2 years ago I was on back to back antibiotics for a strep infection and then Klebsiella UTI’s. I did get back to a decent place with my gut finally but unfortunately now on antibiotics again for 7 days for an E. coli uti. I didn’t get issues with UTI’s until my first 10 day course of antibiotics so I know I really need to look after my gut microbiome. I just would love to know the top foods to rotate weekly while trying to heal my gut and reduce the risk of another uti and anymore antibiotics. Feeling stuck again 🥲

I switched from slynd to cerazette 5 days ago. I’m having constant cramps and a brownish/reddish bleeding. Small brown clots too. I almost feel like I have a uti but I know it’s probably just related to the pill. Everything feels inflamed and sore down there and around my bladder / uterus. I know there will be symptoms at the start has anyone else had this with cerazette, I’m in constant pain and discomfort.

I’ve been on slynd 10 months, I was on Yasmin for years but had to come off because I had a migraine with aura. I’m glad I’m off Yasmin as the risk seemed high, I had no idea what a migraine with aura was until I had one. I have anxiety (I am wondering if this is being caused by slynd) I’m so anxious about side effects of birth control. I worry about the high potassium risk and blood clot risk still. I know the risk isn’t high but I’ve been getting weird symptoms on slynd like cramps/aches in my arms and legs. I also get lightheaded and heart palpitations, my blood pressure has also gone up since being on slynd. I feel so lost with birth control I’ve been thinking about coming off it and using condoms but I do feel protected with the pill. I don’t know what the best mini pill would be or if I should stick with slynd 😭
