Sorry to confuse you, I have read it back it and I haven't typed it particularly clearly
I think the gist of it was: UTI will very very rarely if ever cause m/c but if left untreated, and it gets up into your kidneys then it MAY be a possible cause - it's called pyelonephritis - I think it is very rare to m/c from a kidney infection but it is a known cause.
He said the empyting of your bladder is essential after sex whilst pregnant as the bladder is under more pressure from the growing uterus and some wee can get left (which is why I meant that this bit is not really relevant to BDing) but he said if you can get into the habit of weeing after sex anyway, that would be fab. Also, taking the cranberry will help at any time (pregnant, TTC or otherwise!) to keep UTIs at bay.
Hope this helps clarify my waffling (unless I have just replaced it with more confusion - in which case google 'pyelonephritis and miscarriage' and get more sense than I can type!!!)
It is supposed to be very very rare but it is a reason to do everything we can to keep UTI/cystitis at bay which is why I posted it really as my one and only dose of cystitis really kicked the heck out of me.
