Today, after months of trying for a baby and telling me how he wants a family and can't wait to have a kid with me, my boyfriend was relieved when I got a negative home test, saying he's not ready for kids yet. I took another test this morning. I'm pregnant. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my pregnancy test came back positive. My boyfriend is no fan of fatherhood, so it was with some hesitation that I called him and let him know I'm pregnant. He replied, "Like hell you are!" and hung up. He now refuses to answer any of my calls. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office after getting a positive pregnancy test. She did another one to confirm the result, which came back negative. My husband is wandering around with a great big smile on his face, because he isn't going to "have a rugrat." FML
Today, after months of my fiancé begging me to have a baby with him, I found out I’m pregnant. He doesn’t want a baby anymore. FML
Today, I was ecstatic that the pregnancy test I took was negative. I went to high-five my boyfriend as I told him the good news. Apparently, it’s monstrous, unladylike and weird for a woman to not want children. When I pointed out he doesn’t want kids either, he said, "That’s normal for guys." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of 4 years that I'm pregnant. He suggested we get a paternity test done. FML
Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. Instead of being happy, he freaked out, then told me I was trying to "trap" him. We've been together for 12 years, and trying for 3. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he thought about having kids and, without a pause, he went, “Ew, no thanks.” I’m pretty sure I’m six weeks pregnant so, yeah… FML
Today, after trying for months for a baby, I finally got a positive test. For chlamydia. FML
Today, I turned down my boyfriend's proposal because I'm pregnant and I told him I didn't want people thinking that's why we were getting married. He… did not react well. Yes, he knows that I'm pregnant. FML

It’s not uncommon for people to have mixed feelings about things of importance. Give your boyfriend a chance to react to the new results before getting upset. OP - A bit of personal advice. Relationships and family are big steps in life - Take it slow. If the two of you are not committed enough to each other to get married, then it’s premature to start trying to have children.

Its time for another game of "Guess who wanted the abortion!"

Tell him he has a few months to get ready. That should be enough time.

Sounds like he's the sort of person who will never know what they want and always send mixed signals. Take this as a huge red flag.

How is getting nervous when a big, potentially life changing event is coming up a red flag. Seems human to me.

Getting cold feet isn't unusual. If he's been telling you he wanted kids before and you think he didn't just tell you what (he thinks) you wanted to hear, he should be happy after the first shock. Congratulations and good luck!

If be liked it then he would have put a ring on it.

It could be his relief at the negative is him trying to comfort you, although maybe not the best way. You're going to have to tell him that you had a positive test (or check with your doctor and confirm the pregnancy) and let him know. If he's happy and wants the kid, great! If not, well you have a few options.

Probably he'll change his mind once he find out he'll be a dad for real. Don't worry everything will probably be fine. Good luck.
