    Amoxucillin is not treatment for a parasite!

    Nor is it treatment for pregnancy.

    Honestly shocked the hospital did not do a pregnancy tests. Around here they pretty much do them on any female between 8 and 80, and always assume it will benpositive until they get the negative result.

    This is what I was thinking. When I had lower right quadrant pain once, every single person I saw asked the question about sexual activity and possible pregnancy. I must have answered it 10 times at least. Turned out to be my appendix.

    I'm assuming here that the hospital gave her the antibiotics to clear up any bacterial infection she might have had. The hospital/doctor did not diagnose the parasites, the naturopath did. A naturopath would not have given her the antibiotics, because they cannot prescribe drugs.

    That's my understanding of it. :)

    In this day and age, you'd think that pregnancy would not be a surprise ... but ...

    Positive pregnancy test. Thank you all so much. Now I've got to make " the decision." Concerned that no trained professionals would ink of that but whatever. Thank you everybody

    So it actually is a parasite :D

    Sorry, couldn't help myself.

    Good luck, OP, whatever you decide!

    Me too. Though last time I binge-watched it, I was home from work sick. Don't binge watch House when you're sick.

    I binge watched Breaking Bad...not good either, makes for weird dreams.

    Sadly, in some states they can. But I don't think anyplace in Canada allows it.

    Congrats OP! When I read "can only eat bread and juice" all I could think was, 'Oh hell, I remember that!'. My third daughter was alllllll food aversions in the first trimester. Hang in there!

    OP--so pleased that you found the root of the problem. Wishing you all the best. Being a mother is a big decision. I was plunged into it myself and it's a life-changer, in a special way. MFP is with you, as you can see. Best wishes for a bright future.

    No pregnancy test. Do you think buyable tests will work effectively? Finding contradictions online and I'm confused. Sounds like I'll wait a bit for a result from a doctor

    The ones you get from the pharmacy are very reliable. It's just the first thing to come to mind. If it is the case, that's one hell of a 'parasite' haahaha

    Ohhhhh I have one of those parasites right now. Very demanding parasite, requires lots of doctors visits, needs a nursery and everything lol.

    And, is your illness cured with this?
