Hi Empowher
Just a quick question.
Just to clarify i've had an eating disorder previously and do not eat as much. Also, i did fast for a few days before the bleeding started.
Here's the situation: i was towards the end of my monthly cycle and was sexually assaulted. He did not insert his penis at all but i cant remember if his penis was erect and whether there was any pre-ejaculate fluid. I know he definitely came because he was jackin himself off. I wasn't even concerned about pregnancy until i received some counselling and the lady said to get it checked out and who told me its totally possible.
I've been re-thinking about the situation again and again and again and seem to be feeling like a crazy lady. I've always charted my cycles on on average my longest cycle is 38 days. I started to bleed on day 36 which started off as brown spotting (totally normal before my period) but then i started to bleed (colour which is bright red) but seems to be lighter than my usual cycle (its quite a lot when i wipe but not enough to fill up a pad)...also accompanied by a some cramping.
The bleeding has been continuous so i don't know whether to take it as a light menstrual period due to stress and dietry changes or bleeding from the trauma. I take that it cant be implantation bleeding because i've read that its kinda impossible for implantation to happen a day after conception and usually takes up to 3+ days ...Do you recommend i take a HPT? I've only told one of my friends who recommended this site to me and who's e-mail i am using... (P.s. Please can you keep my name anonymous because this is really embarrassing for me and is culturally frowned upon)...Your insight would be well appreciated...Thankyou
