WBC in Urine

To make a long story short, I'm seeing a RE for recurrent miscarriages.  So. I'm having some testing done.  This morning I gave a urine sample and it came back +2 on WBC in urine.  The nurse gave me a prescription for antibiotics and said it's probably the beginnings of a UTI, to start the antibiotics and they will culture the urine and see what it is.  Should I be worried that it is something worse than a UTI?  I usually can feel a UTI coming on and I don't have any of those feelings.  2006 was the last time I had a UTI.  The only things different is I had a MMR Friday and a catheter when I had my m/c for the u/s.  Could those cause a UTI?  Just grasping straws...

So far so good on the testing.  First week in April we get the results of the chromosome testing.  I'm still waiting for AF to get my dye test and baseline u/s scheduled.  Thanks for asking...Everything still doing better for you?  Did you decide to do testing or at least get transferred to the high risk dr?

this past time when i miscarried the doctors found out i had a UTI. i had no symptoms of one though. they just checked my urine and found i had lots of white blood cells, crystals, and tons of bacteria. so anything new on your testing? have they told you everything is normal so far?
