birth control caused frequent urination

birth control caused frequent urination

I started taking birth control (yasmin) about two months ago. About three weeks after taking the pill I got a horrible UTI. I took medicine for the UTI but now I still have to urinate all the time.
Even when I don't have to urinate it feel like I have to. I am not sexually active and had never had a UTI in my life before I started taking birth control.

Are UTI's and frequent urination side effects of birth control?

Is there another brand of birth control pill that would not cause this to happen?

I am getting married in August and so I would like to figure out another solution before then. I stopped taking yasmin a few days ago.
THanks.
