birth control urgent!! please help!

I am a 15 year old girl and recently started having sex with my boyfriend. we make sure to always use a condom. the first time we had sex I got a uti. I went to the doctor asap and took all of the meds I was supposed to take. well a few weeks later (right now) I just started taking birth control. this is my second week taking it. I am having a painful time trying to pee and there has been light blood when I wipe. any ideas what is going on? is it normal to have painful pee and light blood when you first start birth control?

I would also advise you that it sounds like you have another bladder infection or perhaps the first one returned despite the medication (it could have been resistant). I would definitely recommend that you go back to your doctor and get checked for a UTI. If it is untreated it could spread to your kidneys and blood stream. In the meantime while you are waiting for your appointment drink tons of water to try to wash the organisms out of your system. Cranberry tablets may help. Good luck!
