Yes there are bad parasites but there's also good parasites. I'm not suggesting they aren't something to get rid of. But let's put it this way, our bodies all contain different "things" like that whether or not we know about it. "Bugs"'if you will. Back in the day before we all got so "clean", parasites did a good job of helping us in many ways. You can reference what people are starting to do nowadays called Helminth therapy. My kids have special needs and through desperation have actually thought of it to help my son. Never tried. I don't have the answer on safety of meds while ttc, but if it is something like pinworms, the doc will say it's ok to take the meds. My daughter had those last time I was preggo and had to treat the whole family (they advise) if one person has it. Hope this helps ease your mind a bit. Many docs will tell you a lot of what makes us up are bugs, lol. It's just no fun to have bad ones :(. Feel better soon and GL. I can imagine

I just want this bad runs gone, lol. The eggs were oval shaped. But that helped ease my mind :) I just don't want to put my future baby in danger etc. I was at 124.2, now I'm at 124.0. But I didn't know their was good 'bugs' I knew we had good gut bacteria, lol.

sorry ur having this experience! the first thing i thought of was worms when u described the eggs, if its worms then the medication isnt pregnancy safe. I hope its something that can just be taken care of with some antibiotics, get ur samples in ASAP!

So funny, I had a similar experience a few years back, minus the eggs/worms, but I was losing weight from it. Unfortunately for me I had to have a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with IBS. I kinda wish it had been something with more of a fix like a parasite :(. Anyway, hope it all works out, no pun intended, and you can get back to ttc soon. Xoxo

Thank you so much. The bloating gas gone down. I'm not seeing no more parasites in the stool. My doctor should be calling me any day now. I just got a flashing smiley on CD 7 and 8 today. We are going to try. If nothing happens then hopefully I'll have my meds very soon. Thank you for your responses. I was so scared to have a BM but its best to have a BM and let it just go eww.
