I have a UTI again. Ugh. I have some leftover antibiotics that I am going to take, as I don't really have time to get o the doctor. However, I have some blood in my urine. I have never had that before. Is that normal or should I be more concerned?

You can have blood in your urine with a UTI. If it does not clear soon after starting the antibiotics I would call you doc though.
I wouldn't worry, it is a normal symptom of UTIs. But, do call the doctor for a refill. You really want to take the full course for UTI, they are notorious for roaring back with a vengeance if you don't take the full 10 days of pills. I know from experience more than once :bag
Not sure your antibiotic, but Cipro 500mg twice a day for 3 days will clear a UTI. I've BTDT and work with Urologists. I have ~ 2 UTIs per year. Drink lots of water and then more. Take AZO (OTC pyridium) for symptom relief. Hope you feel better soon.
