more uti troubles

[jen-the-spy.livejournal.com]

Last time i posted, i think it was about urinary tract infections.
well i got another last week. i did all the things i thought i was supposed to do. peeing right after sex, cranberry juice, wipe front to back, etc.
but i got it again. at least the doctor said that i had white blood cells in my urine so he put me on a 7 day prescription of Macrobis (i think thats the name)
well i got my period yesterday. it's 7 days early, like last month. and i'm getting that peeing feeling again. like i go to the bathroom, and right afterwards i feel like i have to pee again.
it gets better after a little bit, but then it comes back in full force. i'm not going to wear any tampons this cycle because i don't want to agitate my urethra more or whatever, but does of any ideas or anything of what i should do? i'm on the 4 day of the prescription. i just don't know what to do at all.

A quick question for all of you...
The past few days, I've been noticing bright red blood when I go to the bathroom. (Just on the TP, not quite sure where its coming from.) And not a whole lot. It doesn't go into the bowl (the water is just yellow, and not tinged pink) and if I wipe again, there's no more. Just like... maybe half dollar sized patches on the TP?
I had a regular period last month, am on the Pill, and am not due to start my next period for a week. I'm not sexually active, it doesn't hurt when I pee. I can't think of anything abnormal that might cause this.
Its not every time I go to the bathroom, maybe twice a day, and its *bright red.* Not like period blood, but like... "gah i cut my finger with a knife" blood. (eek.)
Any thoughts?
