UTI - Shedding Lining

[rosiew]

About two weeks ago my morning urine was bright red.  I have had only one UTI previously, and with it the usual syptoms(blood in urine, pain, frequency)  I was treated with a single dose of an antibotic (which I don't remember, but it turned my urine orange, but releived the pain).  This time the symptom was only blood. I called the nurseline at my clinic and was told that they couldn't do anything since I didn't have any pain or sense of urgency.  Two weeks later (3 days ago) I had another episode of blood in my morning urine (note:  I did have intercourse the night before, but nothing agressive).  Still no pain or urge to urininate. I called the nurseline again and I went in for a urinanalysis.  The analysis showed "numerous" bacteria and red blood cells.  The doctor prescribed Bactrim.  Now, three days later, I still have blood in my urine episiodically ( i.e. my urine will be clear for 4-12 hours) .  During these episodes, I am passing what looks like pieces of tissue or lining (1-1/14inch diameter).  The passing of these clots does cause some pain around the urethra, and a need to urinate more frequently, but it lasts only for the episode.  I called the nurseline again, there was nothing they could offer me as a reason why this is happening and basically said that I would need to see a urologist (it's Saturday).  In addition to the Bactrim, I have been taking CranRich 500MG capules (twice daily) and lots and lots of water.  Is any of this (particluarly the shedding of lining) in the realm of normal, since I probably had the infection two weeks or more before my diagnosis?  Is it possible that the Bactrim/Cranrich is causing the infected bladder lining to shed?  Should I be on another anitbiotic?  (Additional info.) I am a 45 year old female.  My periods are irregular and the day my symptoms began this week, I should have been due for my period.
Thanks for your help.

I'm obviously way late here.
