(((Lexi232))) - it's sounds like a typical bladder infection(UTI) and you must get this taken care immediately. I know it's Saturday and you're probably thinking you'll wait till Monday, but please don't. I went through this myself 3 months ago and I know it's very painful and worrying when you see pink - this is blood in the urine and it will continue to get even darker and more painful if you don't get antibiotics.

All they need is a urine sample and they'll give you a cup to pee in - no gyno exam at all. You can't treat this yourself with cranberry or any other home remedy. The antibiotics will work fast and by tomorrow the pain will be better. Make sure you take all the antibiotics until finished. Drink plenty of fluids. If you don't go this can spread to your kidneys. You can also take Ibuprophen or other pain reliever for pain.

It's also good to learn how to avoid these UTI's although sometimes they just pop up. Don't feel embarrassed or awkward -I think all of us have experienced this at some time. Go to your nearest clinic or even the ER - once it was on the weekend after hours and I went to the ER. Keep up posted when you come back from the doctor.
