UTI gone, frequent urination

Hi, so over 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a UTI, put on 500 mg cephalaxin (spelling?) 4 times a day for 7 days. I forgot to take the last day and a half, and the UTI came back. I was then put on 5 days of macrobid (twice  day). (During my antibiotics I was still having sex) My last pill was Saturday night (9/17) and I am still suffering from frequent urination. Azo seems to help but I don't want to rely on it. I'm 19 and this is my first UTI ever. Has this happened to anyone else? Where antibiotics stop but urgency doesn't? I should mention I am no longer feeling ANY pain, no burning while urination, no fever, no lowerback pain. Just the need to pee. I want to know what's wrong with me. None of the GP that I have been to have been any help. Will this go away on it's own? Has this happened to anyone? How long did it take for it to go away for them? I don't think I have IC since this is my first UTI and there is no pain.

Also, after taking the macrobid, I got another urine test taken and there is minimal amount of bacteria in the sample. My GP said that this was normal since it's hard to get a completely clean catch.
