And I especially don't want to be pregnant from rape!

I'm really uneasy about all this...
if you think you may be pregnant the thing to do is go back in to your doctor or the ER, let them know you thing you are pregnant and need a blood test... some people that I know do not show positive for pregnancy through the urine test. urine tests can sometimes come up false positives or false negatives but blood work cant do that because it looks at more than just the HCG hormone. your other blood counts will also be adjusting to the pregnancy (which is why theres prenatal vitamins and prenatal iron pills to take during pregancy so the baby isnt taking all your iron and vitamins that you normally have with in your body.

if you are preg from rape you have a few options, as long as you find out as early as possible example.. abortion, adoption, or keeping the baby.

your rape crisis counselor/therapist can help you get information on all of the above and help you sort through things.
