Hi, you probably have IC based on your classic symptoms of frequency, urgency and pain in the bladder/urethra. Your symptoms are unresponsive to antobiotics and treatment with antibiotics is ineffective. With no blood in the urine and a normal ultrasound, you have ruled out the other clinical problems with these symptoms. You have a 17 X higher risk of having IC because you have a primary family member with IC. You need to see your sister's Urologist or a local one that has experience in IC. You will eventually need a hydrodistention of the bladder under anesthesia to clarify the diagnosis. I recommend you to the the web site ichelp.org. The Intersitial Cystitis Association website has great info on the IC diet that eliminated bladder irritants that can make your symptoms worse. The next step is to make an appointment with a doctor who specializes in female urology or urogynecology, do a urine culture to r/o a persistent infection, and get the correct diagnosis. Good Luck
