The limiting factor for IC is pain in the bladder for more than 6 weeks without an infection present. You will also want to mark down how many times you have gone, the time, and how much. If you are urinating a regular amount each time, then it is probably not IC. IC patients often feel like they have to urinate fully but only produce a small amount each time because they keep needing to go to the bathroom. This type of information can be given to your primary doctor who will refer you to a urologist.
