sounds very much like a bladder infection, or at least what mine feel like (pain, urgent need even after a very short time, etc.) extra vitamin C can help, in that it will acidify your urine and make the wee beasties unhappy to be there - ditto cranberry juice (or cranberry concentrate pills, they are my godsend because most cranberry juices have so much added sugar.) the main ways for me to prevent them are by drinking lots of fluids, and (tmi?) peeing as soon after sex as I can pull myself away from the cuddling - I also was told by a sweet Planned Parenthood worker that a warm washcloth afterward would help prevent as well.
I wonder if it could be related to the great Wheat revival you guys are going through - change in your system chemistry to be sure.
good to see a doctor though, because if it is a bladder infection, and goes untreated, it can turn into a kidney infection - worst pain I've ever experienced, and I never want to have one again.
