UTI

I feel like I’m getting a uti for the last couple days. Getting a gp appointment is almost impossible. Is it something I can contact triage about? Or is there somewhere else I can contact to get some antibiotics? Thanks!

I went through 111 and had a doctor call me and prescribe me the medication as I too have the same issue with my GP

Some pharmacy’s can do the test and issue antibiotics so might be worth calling your local one and see if they offer the service

Once your over 16weeks triage is what you need. Call triage they be able to see you and assess you and treat if needed. Xx

what is the name of the medication you were given?

Sometimes, if you phone the gp, you could still take in a sample to reception and get it tested it depends on the practice. They also might have to send it off/ wait for results before they will prescribe anything. Alternatively, call 111 when your surgery is closed or look at urgent treatment centres or walk-ins near you.
I think triage/midwives should be able to help, too, as it is one of the things they advise you to look out for but don't know much about the process. X x

I was prescribed with Nitrofuratin since I’m allergic to anything from cillin family

Thank you everyone. For anyone in the future Local pharmacy had nothing but 111 got me a phone appointment. Ideally they need a urine sample but due to work I couldn’t get to the surgery so got my mum to pick it up. It’s amoxicillin.

What do women benefit from marriage

Women sacrifice more pause their career yet the men complain more and won’t even help

What is the benefit, I ask again

Need car advice 😬

So my old car went out completely and the repairs are NOT worth spending on that old car. 😞 Now I’m in need of one however, I’m also trying to get an apartment too but I know I will probably need a car before I can get my apartment. Should I get a reliable used newer car (car note) or should I get a cash car?

Is it appropriate to give a card for Eid?

My neighbour has been fasting for Ramadan and I wondered if it would be appropriate to give a card for Eid. He gave us a Christmas card and I want to return the favour.

Mirena Coil

I just wanted to hear peoples experiences, I had the mirena coil pre giving birth and the experience was absolute hell. I was soaking through pads hourly and the cramps were the closest thing I’ve felt to contractions in my life. All I could do was lie in bed and cry, I was on literally the strongest pain killers and after 2 weeks I had to get it taken out.

But now post birth, I’m really struggling with birth control, the bar in my arm is no better periods wise I’m bleeding everyday which has now resulted in me being low iron, also tried to combination pill which made me bleed even more and experience low mood. I’ve booked to get it taken out next week but I’ve also booked to give the mirena another go

I’m genuinely so scared but this is my last chance I’m giving contraception before i go down the route of sterilisation, as I’ve tried every option which to no avail has suited me. With every method I’ve experienced low mood, irregular bleeding, fatigue- I feel like if this doesn’t work out I have to forget the image of having 2 kids and fight my case to get sterilised (I’m 23)

Please give me some hope that this will work out😢

App not what I thought it'd be

I'm probably just being too picky, but I heard great things about this app and so far it's not really what I thought it would be. Also I have no idea how to turn off the premium/plus feature😂 I thought I would be able to find a lot of people in similar situations (first pregnancy, first baby, same stages, etc) but so far that's not what I'm finding. A good friend of mine found some really good people and friends all in the same stages but I'm not quite finding the same thing. I know there's nothing wrong with finding people who are on their 2nd or 3rd babies but idk. It's a bit disappointing I guess and I just needed to express that?
