Today, I realized that my wife is on her 3rd month using an IUD. The side effect is nonstop bleeding. I haven't had sex with her since she got it. I'd say this contraceptive is working perfectly. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have peace of mind that I am not pregnant, thanks to my IUD. It's not because of the effectiveness of the contraceptive, but my inability to touch my boyfriend. I haven't stopped bleeding since my doctor installed it 3 weeks ago. FML
Today, after my wife and I have been trying for a baby for 2 years, I found out she's still on the pill. Apparently when she was a teen she had bad period cramps, so her doctor gave her the pill for the pain. She never realized it stops pregnancy. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I had an IUD put in two years ago that's supposed to prevent pregnancy. To put it in perspective, less than 1% of people using this IUD get pregnant. Lucky me. FML
Today, thanks to a new form of birth control, I've now been having my period non-stop for six weeks. FML
Today, I’ve had an irregular period my whole life. I was on birth control and took out my IUD in January. I’ve had my period ever since. It’s going on 5 months now. FML
Today, I figured out how my birth control works. If you're on your period for four months straight you can't have sex, so you won't be pregnant. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. The problem is she convinced me to get a vasectomy two years ago. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant with our third child. This wouldn't be a problem but we only want two kids and I had a vasectomy 6 weeks ago (they take 3 months to be effective). We weren't careful only one time, and since it was difficult to conceive the two we wanted, we didn't think it would be a problem. FML
Today, it’s been four and a half months that my wife is pregnant. It’s been a long and hard process, but we made it. Now she says she hates it, she can’t stop thinking about how her life, body, and identity got ruined, and how she wishes she was dead. I'm a simple man. I was happy. FML
Today, I found out that even though my girlfriend is on the pill, and even though my girlfriend took emergency contraception, she became pregnant days after the first time we had sex without a condom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That side effect is supposed to be temporary. She should be heading back to the doctor if it lasts longer than 3 months

you'd think they'd know that.

She should go see the doctor. I'm pretty sure that is not normal for that to happen. I was on the Mirena IUD for 8 months and I didn't bleed for 3 months on it.

The bleeding won't last forever. It's usually a temporary side effect. Also, it's not like y'all can't have sex... it must be your (or her) preference not to...

I got mine out once. It's easy when it's removed. You're stupid. Next.

why is that stopping you? my wife got her period yesterday. Our bed looked like a murder scene when we were done, but we did it anyway.

She’s constantly bleeding? Oh, my God. And instead of being concerned for her health, you’re thinking if you’ll have sex or not. Seriously? . . . Wow, guys really do think with their penis, don’t they? I hope she’s alright. And that the effect is normal.

iuds' are not as safe as advertised. Going back to 2002 there have been many lawsuits due to complications, a hysterectomy is often the only remedy. The IUD works by causing a blockage using a copper, some release a hormone. The device can become embedded or cause intense scarring, it can puncture organs or become infected. The body recognizes the foreign object and tries to get it out or coats it in a crust to stop it from leeching into blood stream. IUDs' do work well for some but for many it ruins the chance of ever having children again. They are a dangerous, cheap, easy to implement and highly profitable option that can be administered in office. They are also effective, but I would take a hysterectomy before using this form of birth control. To each their own...best of luck to you and your wife.

Many IUDs are NOT copper any longer. Read up.

I did say that there are ones that use hormones, even those puncture linings and become embedded. I have read up, don't be snarky or snide...it makes you an uglier person.

That is not a common side effect and she needs to go back to the gynecologist bc something is obviously wrong!
