How often do you pee?

I’m not a pee troll.....

I know I pee more than the average person, but I think it may be waaaay more than average.

Tomorrow I’m going to actually count how often I go, but in the 2.5 hours since DH has been home I think I’ve gone 5 times...

I was told 6-8 times a day is normal.

I vary from 2 times a day to 25... but I’ve got bladder issues (clearly!)

petra22 · 31/10/2018 20:35

I'm not a troll either but I am a bit wee obsessed. Usually hourly I would say. Once every four hours during the night. On a car journey or somewhere where there are no toilets I need one every ten minutes!

petra22 · 31/10/2018 20:37

I do actually have a really good bladder and when pushed can hold it for hours and hours but the slightest urge to go and I'm not comfortable

EdWinchester · 31/10/2018 20:41

I have counted.

So far today (since 6,30), 5 times.

Racecardriver · 31/10/2018 20:43

Like 2-5 tines a day depending on how much I have had to drink.

DarkestBeforeDawn · 31/10/2018 20:43

I get pee anxiety! If I'm away from a toilet I worry about where the next one may be and it makes me need to go more! Otherwise I would say every 1-2 hrs...

5BlindMice · 31/10/2018 20:44

Interesting! I have an overactive/sensitive bladder and suspect endometriosis on/it it too.

I maybe drink 1.5lt a day so not a huge amount but need to all the time, like PP especially when there’s no toilet or in the car, really puts me off going some places!

I'd say 6 times a day. Always find threads like this really interesting!

dudsville · 31/10/2018 20:46

I have no idea and ir doesn't concern me. I drink a lot and wee a lot. I judge by colour and a sense of dehydration.

PoptartPoptart · 31/10/2018 20:47

About 9-10 times a day.

EBearhug · 31/10/2018 20:48

Depends a bit on what I'm doing - if I'm going out, my mother brought us up with, "go while you've got the opportunity, even if you don't need to."

I guess on a normal work day, it's probably 6 or 7 times.

AnneLovesGilbert · 31/10/2018 20:48

Once an hour. So 8 times just at work. My pelvic floor is amazing.

Yonijust · 31/10/2018 20:48

Every 2-3 hours.

madmum5811 · 31/10/2018 20:49

This is reassuring. I do find drinking coffee or wine sets me off. At other times I can go a few hours in the morning if I only drink tea. I usually go six hours or so at night. I blame giving birth three times for a weak bladder.

Nesssie · 31/10/2018 20:51

2-3 times a day. And I drink a lot of water. I have a bladder of steel though!

5BlindMice · 31/10/2018 20:57

Jealous of all these super bladder’s. If I’m heading to supermarket before school pick up I’ll pee twice in the 5-10 mins before I leave, and generally be needing again while I’m waiting at school gate at 3.

Roughly 3-4 times a day. Usually go when I get up, maybe mid-morning before lunch, once afternoon/early evening and once before bed. I never have to get up in the night for a wee.

userofthiswebsite · 31/10/2018 21:03

All the blumming time. Really really irritating. I resent it.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 31/10/2018 21:03

Probably 5 or 6 times on an average day

I very rarely get up during the night for a wee

During the day I can go several hours but then I will suddenly have a really sudden urge and have to practically run to the loo

I also get 'key in door syndrome' when I'm returning from a trip out - as soon as my key goes in the front door I get an almighty urge for a wee and struggle to get myself inside the house and to the loo

confusednorthner · 31/10/2018 21:09

When I get up, lunchtime, when I get home about 4:30 then before bed 10ish. Maybe again at 7pm ish when putting kids to bed but not always. Don't think I'm dehydrated but doesn't seem much compared to others now!

Pixiedust49 · 31/10/2018 21:15

Too many times to count during the day. Get up 2-3 times a night. Always been the same.......

ragged · 31/10/2018 21:16

Do you pee buckets when you go, do you drink a lot of fluids? (I do both these things)

totallyaddicted · 31/10/2018 21:21

I think about 15 times a day. I do have a bladder the size of a pea though

RainbowsArePretty · 31/10/2018 21:22

Hourly when awake. Wake once during the night too

AuLoinSontVontLesNuages · 31/10/2018 21:23

Oh I have really bad key in door syndrome too - and also whenever I’m at the train station and am queuing for the ticket machine I need to go - random but systématique.

If not I think I go 6-7 times a day but never during the night.
