Too Much Information?

****Warning, this entry may contain information that you may not want to read let alone hear, but I need to talk about it and this is the only place I think deems appropriate****
As some of you or whoever reads this, James and I are trying to conceive again.
I started getting UTIs back in April after James and I decided that was a good time to start again after miscarrying. The first time I had one, I had no CLUE to what was going on. I was such in pain that I took acetominophen three times that day hoping it would get rid of it and it did...for that day...and it continued to go on and on for months like this until when I was here in Lawrence and went to the ER and they told me that I had a UTI.
The problem with trying to conceive again is the fact that I keep on getting UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) and I feel that it will be a burden for me. But I have yet to give up. Looking on the Internet and reading online to see or let alone read that I am not alone in this makes me feel better. In fact, it feels good to know that there's hope for me. I will get insurance beginning in January and when that happens, I can see an OBGYN and see what she has to say in the matter. I found these tips online and I figure that this is and I do mean this is the only way I can treat myself for now: go to the bathroom before and after you make love, drink tons and tons of cranberry juice and water.
Just by doing the following of what I just mentioned, I think make that I know that I will still be getting UTIs but not as often. I know that I can get through anything with God and James by my side, but there are times that I feel that I am defeated by this thing. Then again, I know that I am not and I won't back down either.
