I am at the point I don’t know what to do. Doctors have ruled out everything with me. Everytime I have sex with my spouse I get UTIs .. even when we were dating the same issue. I never had this issue with other partners. I have tried it all with him.. d manosse, recommended herbals, partner and I shower before sex and I shower after, pee after sex, even did prophylactic antibiotic which ruined my gut health and caused many other issues for me. Doctors mentioned that my husband should go to the doctor for testing since I have mentioned that he has issues emptying his bladder and some other signs of prostate/bladder issues. He is refusing to rule out that he may be a factor in me having recurring UTIs. I have asked for months for him to take my health seriously and just rule out that he isn’t playing a factor.. He is coming up with any excuse to not go and is now saying it’s all me and it’s an issue with my anatomy. He doesn’t listen to me when I express concern about the impacts of all these antibiotics have on my body and the stress of always getting UTIs and dealing with the symptoms. How do I continue to deal with an unsupportive partner. It’s frustrating enough to keep getting UTIs and I don’t know the cause other than sex with my husband increases the likelihood of getting one.

Has another been in a similar situation where you only got
UTIs with a particular partner? Did they go to the doctor to get to the bottom of it or take the microgen x test ?

Looking for some advice. Sadly my maternity leave is over and I go back to work next week. I do work from home and it’s really flexible for the most part. My whole team has kids and have said they would be understanding when I came back to work etc. My husband just graduated and has a remote job he will be starting.

Any wfh parents attempt to try to handle the baby and work throughout the day? I was thinking if baby needs something dad can help etc till I get off the phone and vice versa.

My child will be 3 months and doesn’t nap much during the day (small twenty min naps) but will sleep through the night. She’s still unpredictable as far as feeding schedule during the day

I have started looking for a nanny since I don’t think we will be able to do our jobs and supervise my child once she becomes mobile.

Any wfh parents handle child care and work till the child started crawling/ walking? I’m a first time parent and don’t know what to expect. All I can do is my best and have a back up plan

Really worried about intimacy with my husband in the future. I do have IC but it has gotten better partly because I recently had a baby and haven’t had intimacy past three months. How do people have normal s*x lives?

Seems like i get uti symptoms after s*x or I actually get uti. From what I understand with IC sometimes the bladder lining is weak/ thin etc which makes you more susceptible to UTIs. I take oregano oil to help with it along with desert aloe.

What’s also weird is I had IC before I met my husband and had other partners and they NEVER gave me UTIs. I don’t get it, could he have something in his semen? All his tests come back clear so why would I get UTI’s when I sleep with him. Other than keeping up with supplements and showering before and after s*x what can I do to avoid an actual UTI and flare.

Hi all- I noticed my urgency is a lot worse at night. Any supplements or tips on how to manage? My symptoms are better than they used to be due to desert harvest aloe, l arginine , and hydroxyzine.

I’m 3 months postpartum and the weight is very slow to come off. I’m very strict with dieting and have been working out the best I can (spinning and light weights) since I have a mild prolapse from delivery. I have lost five pounds from when I left the hospital after the birth to now. I still have another 30 pounds to lose.

My thyroid is fine and I’m not breastfeeding, any other moms have a similar situation to mine where the scale wasn’t moving much then the weight started to come off faster ?

Hi all - trying to see if there’s other success stories recovering from prolapse after birth and the amount of time it took. I have a grade 1 rectocele and cystocele diagnosed at 3 weeks postpartum since I felt like I had a tampon falling out sensation. Luckily just grade 1 and have been doing pelvic floor therapy 2 times a week and excercises at home as well.I’m 10 weeks postpartum and hoping I can start working out and really just feel normal down there soon. Working out and lifting really helps my mental health and this recovery is really affecting me. Anyone else have a grade one success story where they were able to start lifting again without issues and get back to normal sex life? When did it start to feel normal down there? Really hope it’s not six months before i am back to normal

I’ve been cleared to ride the bike and lift light upper body weights but that is all at this point

At ten weeks postpartum I can lift some light upper body, and ride the bike but I haven’t been cleared to do much else.
