going back on the pill… need a bit of advice?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010


okay, im on the combined pill, been on it for a month, ive just had my first pill free week (you know where you bleed) and i am due to go back on my pill tomorrow.. over the last week i realised i have honeymoon cystitis, i took a urine sample to the doctors today and he said it was on the highest scale of cysitis and has given me a week of antibiotics.. i have started today.. since antibiotics affect the pill and im going back on my pill tomorrow, so im starting my pill with the antibiotics, so they wont work, so its basically as if im not starting my pill.. im unsure of how long i will need to use condoms for? what do you think? i hope i wont have to use condoms for the whole month :(

also, how long would you advise me until i have sex again? (cos of the cystitis)

thanks! x

Use condoms the entire time you are taking antibiotics and for a week after you stop taking them. Continue to take your birth control every day, even when you are on the antibiotics. Ask your doctor about returning to sexual activity, since he/she is the only one that can give you an answer specific to your condition.

I need to know what the pain in my groin is?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010


For the past month, I have been having serious problems with my groin area.

At the start of the new year, I contracted a Urinary Tract Infection because I started having sex with a new partner. We both got the infection at the same time, it was honeymoon cystitis.

I went to my doctor and he put me on a course of amoxcyllin, but this didnt clear it up. He then put me on a stronger medication, and it still didnt clear up.

Since then, my problems have become a lot worse. I started to get an unbearable pain in my left testicle and up my right side. My stomach also became very tender, and I never had the urge to go for a wee.

I’ve had to have scans to see if anything was wrong, and the radiographer said that after I had been for a wee, my bladder hadnt actually emptied itself at all.

This was all a couple of weeks ago. Now, my urinary problems have cleared, but I am still left with an unbearable pain in my groin. This has now spread to the shaft of my penis, and I’m in complete dispair. I have a consultation with a urologist in two weeks, but I dont think I can wait that long!

Has anybody been through this themselves?? and if so, what hapens from here?

i have not heard of anything like that before. But i would say that you should try and hold on until that urologist appointment. And if you cant, then i guess going to the ER would be the only option. Sorry to not have any real info.

do i have honeymoon cystitis? :(?

I am almost positive that you have a urinary tract infection, it can be caused from sex but it isn’t really much to worry about. Mild ones do clear up on their own in a few days, but you probably need to go to the doctor to get some antibiotics. In the mean time drink a lot of water to clear out your system as much as possible.
