I used to get UTI's all the time but haven't had any for a while as I always go to the bathroom after sex and I take cranberry pills. Does anyone know if it is safe to keep taking these while ttc?

Also does recurrent UTI's mean you would need a specialist rather than a midwife? I have reflux nephropathy according to the dr.

It is all getting real now. I start taking Elevit this weekend!

Hi Gazelle, I used to take cranberry tablets because of recurrent UTIs but have stopped since TTC.
I have read that because it lowers pH levels this makes it harder for sperm to survive.

But I have also heard that cranberry can help if you want to conceive a girl because the X sperm can survive anything!

Hi,

I was told to stop the cranberry tablets whilst ttc but be vigerous when it comes to preventing uti's (I was operated on twice for reflux but I still have trouble) So things like going toilet straight away and making sure you drink loads of water, going to the toilet as soon as you feel the need and making sure you finish properly and the obvious stuff like wiping front to back dadadadada.
ANYWAY when I was preg with number one my midwife sent be to a OB regularly becuase of the whole reflux thing, he kept an eye on things and my urine was tested all the time so they could catch a uti if one crept up. But u will still be under the care of a midwife, if she thinks your case is severe enough you will see a ob once a month as well. After baby I had to go in for these scan thingys to check the kidneys as well
Hope I helped lol
