i get this thing a few times a month that is sort of like a urinary infection, only it's not. i've had urinary infections before.. where i can't stop feeling like i have to pee and when i do it burns. this is different. there is no burning; only the feeling that i have to go to the bathroom constantly. i can't tell why this happens. sometimes i think it's in my head. i've been to the doctor's before when i had only one symptom and the tests for a urinary tract infection always come back negative. i know i don't have an std or anything like that. and i haven't done anything to damage down there.. ie. horseback riding. does anyone have an idea of what this is and how i could prevent it? it's a horrible feeling..

A few other possibilities, just because I've been dealing with the same thing recently and had to mentally "list" what it could be:

(1) do you get thirstier at different times of the month? Yeah, it seems like a no-brainer :) but I'm on a bunch of meds that all dry me out, so I drink water like a maniac sometimes.... and increased input > increased output!

(2) if you do get thirstier, drink more, and therefore pee more.... do you have other diabetic symptoms? This one is more serious and less likely; but if you also get yeast infection symptoms and/or cold hands and feet (tingling) and/or change in appetite and weight and/or a bunch of other stuff you can find online... you might want to get blood-glucose tests.

(3) if this is to a serious point, and stays awhile (which it looks like it might be doing.. sorry! no fun!), I've heard that some people have sensitive nerves in the bladder, etc... not sure what the med stuff behind that is, but i know it can happen. Wouldn't be surprised if I have a tiny touch of it myself; my bf and I joke that I have a small bladder, because I have to go to the bathroom about 3 or 4x for every once that he does....

...anyhow, hope you feel better
