Q: Help Needed

Hi there, I know a lot of you will probably be able to help me out here, and I hope that you won't be too judgemental of me, I really need some help here.

I'm 16 years old, and at a party in may, I got really drunk. I know I shouldn't have as legally, I am not old enough to drink alcohol. I was so paraletic that I passed out, and cannot remember a large portion of the evening. I also suffered several bangs to the head as I could not stand properly. At about 3am, sunday morning, I woke up in a bathroom, next to a guy, and he came on to me, as I was still pretty drunk I went along with it for a while... Then when he said do u think we should have sex? I said no, as we had no condom. Then I banged my head on the door and can't remember what happened.

As the next weekday was a bank holiday, I was unable to go to a doctors, so I went on tuesday for the morning after pill. Which I took, and then I had my normal period on the day it was due the 4th june. It's now the 8th of july, and I still have not had my period which was due on the 3rd. I was wondering if this meant that I am pregnant, as I have not had my period yet.

I know that the morning after pill (levonelle 2) is notorious for messing up the menstrual cycle, and wondered if this could be a cause of my delaed period. I have also just taken my gcse's, so it may be stress related, though my period has never been late before.

I know that if I am pregnant, I will be having an abortion, as I feel I am not mentally ready to care for another life, when I have trouble caring for my own. I also have plans to go on to college, and possibly to university, and having a child now, would make those plans pretty much impossible.

If any of you can offer me some advice, it would be much appriciated. Thank you xx

Littlemiss,

no one really should judge you as no one is perfect. If you do find out you are pregnant, whatever you decide is what's best for you, no ifs, ands or buts.

I hope you are doing well. What happened at that party was illegal, and i"m not talking about your drinking. You said you can't remember what happened, which to me means you're not sure if he had sex with you, but you pretty much guessed that's what happened. If he had sex with you, that's wrong and criminal of him to have done so. Sure you shouldn't have been drinking, but there are alot of "shouldn't have dones" in this world that aren't worthy of the judgement people force on it.

On the other hand, a boy or man having sex with a girl or woman when she says no or she is unable to repsond due to intoxication or being knocked out, or for some other reason unconscious, is criminal. It's called sexual assault. I don't mean to alarm you, but that's the legal definition. If you want to discuss this more, you can send me an e-mail.

The morning after pill does in fact mess up your cycle a good bit. Since it's only been a few days your period is late, just keep waiting and keeping an eye on it. It may be a good bit later than usual. My hunch is that the incident happened at a relatively safe from pregnancy time for you (from what you wrote it seems about a week lapsed between that night and your period, if i'm wrong, I apologize).

Seeing as stress delays the first part of the cycle (between first day of menstrual period and ovulation) it's very likely that the stress from your test taking and stress from the aftermath of the party could have delayed your period. Of course nothing is 100% guaranteed, that's just an educated guess.

Good luck, feel free to e-mail me if you like.

Littlemiss, i'm glad you aren't pregnant. But if you still suspect that the guy might have had sex with you, i'd get tested for stis and stds. Remember that, with a lot of sexually-transmitted infectioos, girls don't have any apparent symptoms, unlike guys, and it's best to catch them early. I'd do it just in case.
