Pregnancy or Intestinal Parasite? So worried!
Good day,
I'm 45 and the mother of 3 (18, 6, & 4). My husband and I had a little "accident" on July 2 and now I fear I may be pregnant. For about a week, i have been feeling flutters and wavelike sensations in my right lower abdominals. I had a physical last Monday w/blood tests which all came back normal. Concerned, I ran out and bought several pregnancy tests which show negative and if I were pregnant, isn't it too early for fetal movement?
I demanded a fecal test for parasites which also came back negative and even as I type, I'm experiencing these "lightening" feelings like a baby! I've been online for days reading about intestinal parasites and fear I may have one.
I'm scheduled for a colonic tomorrow to flush out my colon but wanted to know 'without a doubt' if it's too early for it to be pregnancy.
MORE INFO:
My LMP was July 20th. All my kids were C-Sections and I recently spent one week in the Caribbean.
I'm so worried, I can barely think straight. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Eat lots of fresh garlic meanwhile it will kill parasites and won't harm the baby if you are pregnant. Keep us posted ,please. Could it be gas? Since your fecal was negative for parasites.

HI!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that it is MUCH too early to feel any fetal activity. As a matter of fact, it is a bit early to do a pregnancy test.
It is reassuring that the ones you have done are negative, but if you don't have your regular period in August, you should repeat the test. Fetal activity is rarely ever felt before 18-20 weeks. Certainly if you were that far along, your pregnancy test would be positive.
Not that I wish you parasites, but they are much more likely.
Good luck!
