Hi there, I am a normaly healthy 23 yr old female. I have been married (sexually active) 4 years next week. I have been using a combined oral contraceptive for most of this time but switched to a progesterone Jadelle implant (lasts 5 years) 6 months ago. In the last 2-3 months I have been getting UTIs all the time, which I very unusual for me. Prior to these last months I have only had 2 UTIs since being married 3.5 years. Most of the time I can catch them as they are starting with urine alkilizers, d-mannose and water etc. I saw a dr who gave me trimethoprim for one; he didn t think there was any reason why I should be getting increased UTIs; just was. The UTIs are painful and I hate always worrying that I m about to get another. Is there anything I can, extra to the obvious rules, and do you think my change in birth control has impacted this? Or should I be looking down other avenues like pregnancy or something else?
