Q: Could I Be Pregnant?

Hey.

I have posted on the womens health board but I havent got any replys recently. I was raped on the 2nd of march at work and since then I have been ill. I sleep nearly all day, gone off my food, feeling and being sick, really bad headaches, leaking from boobs, loads of discharge and slightly bleeding. I was bleeding loads before but im bleeding a bit now. Its really worrying me because I dont know whats going on and I keep thinking im pregnant but I need to know for sure becuase this is bugging me now and driving me crazy.

Please someone reply asap, I need to know whats going on. Thanks in advance x

Did you contact the authorities and get checked after your rape? I'd be surprised that they didn't give you the morning after pill!

When is your period due? The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Maybe visit a doctor since this is such an emotional issue. He can better give you some options and test you for stds (possibly from the rape).

((hugs)) good luck!

Hiya.

Thanks for your reply. I wasnt given the morning after pill. I wasnt checked over either because I refused it because its to embarssing! My period was due a week ago I think but im not sure because I have missed a few bcp pills. I dont know whats going on and its worrying me big time. I did tell the doctor about the rape and other things but she didnt say/do much.

Does it sound like im pregnant?

It sounds like there are a lot of things going on with you right now. You really should go be seen by a doctor to make sure - but it could just be you are worried about your period and you hormones are a little screwed up from missing some bcps. You won't know until you test for pregnancy whether you are pregnant or not. Leaking breast usually don't happen within the first month though - so that might also be something you want to talk to a doctor about.

It is embarrassing to go for a check after rape - but it is the best way to convict the rapist and it is the best way to keep yourself safe. You need to get tested, not only for pregnancy but also stds. You have no way of knowing what he could have had.

I'm not saying any of this to scare you, i'm saying it so you know how important medical care in your situation is.

If you did take the morning after pill that could make you feel or think you are pregnant, just becuz of the change in hormons, if you continue to feel like this after about a week I would say take a home test and if it is negitive but you still feel this way, go to the Dr. And request a blood test for pregnancy, becuz that would beable to decte it even if a urine test can't. Also you seriously need to get tested for stds, becuz they can give you all sorts of weird symtons,!! Good luck!

We are on the internet, there is no way we could know that.

I'm going to repeat what i've said from the beginning: you need to go to the doctor!!

Your case isn't going well because you refused an examination, and there is therefore very little evidence. A pregnancy won't do anything to help it. Sorry.

Hiya.

Thanks for your replys. If you was a girl you would understand how difficult it is. Its hard too go through something like that and have a case on your shoulders too. If I was pregnant it would prove he had sex with me so it will help.

Actually, rodge is a girl.

And have you thought about the other effects a pregnancy/baby would cause? Much more troubling than an exam.

Yes I do. I have a little brother who was 1 today and I have been pregnant before and it was a lot of trouble so I do know. Its hard being a mum and a sister of such a little brother so I do know!
