Hello,
Persistent Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) doesn't affect your conception but it causes deleterious effects on growing baby. So, before trying to conceive your UTI should be treated.
Some of the infections might transmit to your partner also.
Please go for urine culture and sensitivity and use antibiotics according to the report. Also, consult a gynecologist for more information.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
