Does this seem like a bladder infection?

I've been having pain in my lower pelvic region since my D&C in October for a missed abortion. In mid-November I was given 10 days of doxycycline for an infection (don't know what kind), and I kept down about 7 days worth of the pills. A couple of weeks ago, my doctor prescribed 14 days of doxycycline for ureaplasma. Again, I probably kept down about 7 days worth of the pills. (If they gave an award for throwing up pills, I'd win!) Throughout all this, my pelvic pain has gotten worse. It started out as a dull pain located at about the right side of my uterus. Then it turned into a sharp pain, then it started spreading. Sometimes it's a burning feeling, like my uterus area is on fire, and other times it just horrible cramping.

While talking to my doctor about it yesterday, he said it might be a bladder infection, so now I'm waiting for the lab results of that (two more days to wait). Does that sound right to any of you? I do have to use the bathroom a lot, but I drink water constantly throughout the day, so I figured that was why. It doesn't burn when I go, which I always thought indicated an infection. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the ureaplasma since I didn't get the whole prescription in my system.

Any ideas? I guess I'm hoping it's something that simple, since I'd like to avoid the sonogram/laparoscopy option that I'll be left with. I just don't know how I could have had this for over ten weeks without the burning I thought was supposed to accompany an infection.

Sorry so long. Thanks for any help, Kris
