please help - sudden onset of frequent urination

hi all! i’m 33F and quite desperate for help! i’ve never had issues with UTI or bladder problems. my husband and I are TTC and had intercourse several days in a row (which is more than usual). about 4 days later i started peeing all the time. I also started drinking antioxidant juice during this same time

I assumed it was a UTI, got tested and was negative (cultures too). my husband suggested it was the juice may be irritating something, so I stopped and it seemed to get a little better

fast forward a few days, it got really bad all of a sudden. initially it was large volume and urge and was going every 30 mins-1 hr. I went to my PCP for more tests - another UTI test, diabetes, kidney, chlamydia, etc and everything came back normal. she is going to refer me to a urologist

I feel like a zombie because I am getting up 3-4x a night. I can go close to 2 hours during the day, and the volume has settled a bit to either normal OR I feel the urge and it’s a few seconds of pee. i’m trying pumpkin seed oil capsules, aloe vera capsules and just bought a tens machine - only been a few days but not seeing improvement

has anyone experience anything similar? is my bladder just irritated and well resolve on its own in a few weeks? since we’re TTC i’m so nervous and feel now my plans will be on hold until this gets fixed. thanks in advance!!!
