And I just want to thank you all again for your help, it was a real comfort to me when I was worrying

Been there got the Tshirt, I understand the relief when you find you haven't created life out of something so distressing

oh you poor thing, it's not too late to talk to someone about what happened though, get some counselling for it. I hope he's not the same one you've fooled around with since?

The unwanted unprotected sex, he never had a condom, he never asked permission, and he never stopped when I asked. However it happened in March, nearly 2 months ago now. I don't know his name, I don't think I'd be able to give a description of him so I'm not sure what the police could do really

Aw, I've nothing really to add, just wanted to give you a big hug. Horrible guy taking advantage of you. :mad:

And please visit the STI clinic, they are nice and non judgemental - seen and heard it all - and super-confidential (won't even pass info on to your GP without your permission).

OP, glad to hear you are ok now. An unwanted pregnancy scare is awful even if it follows a consensual, loving encounter!

I would urge you to report it to the police - as daunting as that prospect may seem, even if you don't know his name or much about him. I assume you would be able to recognise him from a line-up? And could you give some sort of description, even if only age, race, hair length etc? For all you know he is doing this regularly and your report may just be the extra evidence they need to catch or convict him.

Even if they can't do anything, it is still worth adding to the statistics - rape tends to be under-reported. Of course it is difficult to know by how much, but they can get an idea by comparing numbers reported to police with numbers accessing suport services. There is also anecdotal evidence that many women don't report rape, especially so-called 'date rape'.

The stats of course will have an impact on funding for support services. It may not benefit you directly in any way, and you seem to be dealing with it surprisingly well from what you have said, but it could help other women down the line who will need the support of services whose budget has been cut!

I did tell my mum once I'd come on that I was worried I'd be pregnant and I think if I had turned out to be pregnant she would have supported me no matter how shocked she would have been.

Did you also tell your Mum about the circumstances of how you came to be in your situation?

I hope you've been able to speak to someone about your ordeal and obtain the support that I'm sure you need x

This is awful if he took advantage, Im so sorry for you.

I can agree that stress plays a part, I had a very stressful time afew months ago and my period was almost non existent. I went to the docs and they tested me and it was negative, they told me it was due to stress.

Whatever happens I hope you are ok. xx

Please try to access some counselling or similar even if you do not go to the police. You may be able to report it later on if you feel more able to cope and talk about it.

I cannot even begin to imagine what a difficult time it is for you
