Pain right after urinating

Hi- for over a month now, about once a day, I have pain after I urinate.  It lasts for about 10-15 minutes and hurts right inside the vagina.  It lasted for about 2 weeks and then started happening sporadically- once a day, but not everyday- every few days instead.  I had a urinalysis done at the gyno's office (dipstick and sent to the lab) and it came back negative.  The pain is still sporadic- usually once or twice a week, only once a day.  My general doctor also did a urinalysis and it came back negative for bacteria.  I'm wondering what is going on.  I read about interstitial cystitis and it sounds like I could have that. Are there other symptoms?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do have an appointment with the gynecolist for an exam on Thursday, but was hoping for some answers before then.  Also, my CBC blood test showed elevated white blood cell count.  I'm wondering if this could have anything to do with that.  The doctor said not to worry, but he does want to check my white blood cell count again within a week.

Thanks mamacita- at least I know I'm not alone. Let me know what happens.  I didn't realize there was a difference between a urinalysis and a urine culture.  I had an appt set for this morning with the gynecologist and then sure enough I woke up this morning with my period, so I have to postpone the appointment. I'll keep you posted if anything develops.  Good luck.
