Not content to be one of the first women with Crohn’s disease trying hookworms, I thought I’d just throw a new loop in the mix. I just found out I am pregnant! Oh boy. My new worms just attached yesterday as well. Now, besides approximately 20 hookworms, I have a new parasite growing inside of me. I have been wanting and trying to get pregnant for many years, and to no avail. I actually just took an FSH test last week, wondering if I was entering perimenopause, but…er, no.
Only 2 weeks pregnant, and I shoudn’t be announcing it. I had a miscarriage years ago, so I know this couldn’t take. But I’m not the kind to hold things in, and if I miscarry, I’d rather have the support of my friends who knew what I was going through.
Still having insomnia and anxiety, which sucks. I was just ready to go on an SSRI/ benzodiazapen combo, but…I guess not now. Didn’t fall asleep unti 4 AM last night, but slept until 9:45, so at least I’m sleeping some. Hoping the fatigue and exhaustion kicks in in a week, and I go back to a normal sleeping schedule.
Oh, how life is so interesting!
You can add fertility to the list of the benefits of hookworms.
