IC?: It could be interstitial cystitis or possibly external genital/vaginal infection. Try avoiding tangy foods such as citrus, cranberry, cola, tea, tomatoes for a while. (see ic-network .Com for more). If symptoms persist have your gyn take a look.

Assume infection: Until proven other wise. Your symptoms are classic for a uti. It may be an atypical agent. Do not depend on the home test.
