Q: UTI or kidney problems ?

I'm about 10 days late and have several symptoms (exhaustion 24/7, bloating, cramping and heavy discharge). I've taken 4 tests in 5 days. All read positive. Because I'm prone to bladder infections and have been hospitalized for a kidney infection last year, I'm concerned it could all be false after reading this morning that its possible to get a false positive if there is blood in the urine.

Does anyone know anything about this? I don't have insurance, so I can't just pop in somewhere for a blood test (that I know of, here in Nor. Cal??). Any advice would be terrific.

hello

you need to go see a doctor and get a test no matter what... if it shows that you are with child then go get help from your local family services (where you can get food stamps) they will put you on medical. that means they will pay for your past bills for getting tested for being with child. i have been there in that situation and that is what i went and did. good luck with it.
