I have had frequent yeast infections..used to have frequent bladder infections, anytime there is extra activity south of the boarder, I have an increase of bladder infections. My dr. suggested making cranberry juice a part of my daily routine, and it has really help with the bladder infections.

I have had frequent UTIs during the last few months of treatment - I've been wondering if it's all the meds and hormonal changes. I've been taking cranberry pills this month and it seems to be helping.

I've only had one UTI with our IF treatment, and it was a DOOZIE!! (peeing blood, ouch!)
I think that increased activity in that area absolutely increases our risk for infection.
I don't know about you ladies, but I feel like my Vagina must be on a billboard on the interstate as a tourist destination!! So many people needing to poke and prod at my personal business.....

Oh my god, I always thought that constant bladder infections and as in my case additional kidney infections (5-6 time a yr)could be related to my infertility!!! And I just had to find out through my phyiso therapist that all my back aches are maybe realted to all the kidney infections.....
I had final bladder operation caried out for 'reflux' after 17yr of suffering and it's 110% better but nobody can completley confirm that all those yrs of trouble caused me being infertile!!!

I used to get a lot of UTIs but have found since I started following my doctors advise about peeing after sex it has reduced those episodes tremendously. The act of sex can actually make your more susceptible to infection. Hope this helps
