    You should have got a morning after pill, and before people moan about being unsympathetic, i've been raped before so i know what the op is going through.

    In the panic after an attack people aren't always thinking straight and the possibility of pregnancy may not even be something they think about. In some cases they may also have moral objections to it.(I'm not getting into that here though as it's not appropriate.)

  • I told my boyfriend yesterday and he is standing by me. He is mad at the guy who attacked me and "resolve his breathing issue"

    He said he will help me any way he can and will come doctors appointments etc. Feel happier and slept well last night.
  • Thank you for all your help and support :)

    Thank you for updating us. I am glad that your boyfriend is standing by you. I wish you both lots of strength to get through the tough times ahead.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
  • Glad he is supporting you - and that things seem a little better now.

    Please, please report this to the police though - it could stop it happening to someone else.

    The very best of luck and lots of hugs to you.

    100% agree on reporting to the police. Don't let this cretin get away with it and possibly go on to attack again.

    Best of luck to you and your boyfriend, I hope he does stand by you whatever your decision may be.
    Remember you do still have a choice whether to go ahead with your pregnancy or terminate. It's your choice and only you can decide.
