AZO also has an over the counter drug for UTI's.  It's available at any drug store but if you allow this to go too long you will wind up being in tremendous pain.
Drink cranberry, juice stay hydrated, get the AZO and go to a doctor ASAP.

Feel better.

Stress will definitely mess with your period. It is not uncommon to have a heavier flow when you are stressed.  

As for the possible uti. You will know soon wether it is or isn't.  Drink alot of water or cranberry juice with no sugar (sweetened with other juices) to help clear things out. It may keep it from developing. Not to mention it's good to stay hydrated.

Hi,

if you think you are getting a UTI you need to go to a doctor.  Your doctor will also be able to rule out/confirm a pregnancy.

GOod luck!
