Today, after a trip to see my doctor, I found out that my recent mood swings and hot flashes are the result of a hormonal imbalance that mimics the effects of menopause. I'm a 17 year-old guy. FML

Today, after having taken hormone tablets to try to increase my cup size, I realized that I've basically reversed my menopause. FML
Today, I’ve finished all my cancer treatments but my body is putting me through the wringer again. I got my first period after not having one for nearly a year, and with it has come all sorts of hormonal issues including cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, and heinous BO! It’s worse than puberty! FML
Today, after six months of trying, my wife was convinced she was finally pregnant with our first baby, which we put off having for years until we got our careers, savings and house where we needed them. One trip to the doctor's and it’s not pregnancy, it’s early onset menopause at 37. FML
Today, I found out I’m going through early menopause. My husband was finally ready to have a baby, after years of debate and saying he’s not ready. I warned him my ovaries wouldn’t hold out forever. He seems shocked that menopause happens to all women and is irreversible. FML
Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML
Today, after over a dozen separate blood tests, my doctor told me conclusively that my results are perfectly normal for a middle-aged woman in the early stages of pregnancy. Problem is, I’m a 24-year-old guy, so my doctor is very concerned. FML
Today, my doctor told me I had "abnormally large breasts." This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a 20 year old man. FML
Today, I'm a guy who's always been physically a late bloomer. In high school, I looked too young for girls to like me. At 22, I still looked 17. Now at 25, I look good but when girls find out my age, they expect me to have everything figured out by now. I never got to be young. FML
Today, after going to the clinic for my hormone therapy, I decided to go to the mall. I went into the ladies' room to pee, and I heard a guy asking if there was anyone in there who shouldn't be. Yeah, someone called security on me. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Mimics, not that it is. They were just helping you understand what you were going through. This doesnt even sound embarrassing at all.

His condition in itself is not embarrassing, but think about how his 17-year-old friends will react to his situation. I think the constant mocking that will almost surely follow is what makes this an FML.

I actually just heard somewhere that men DO go through menopause... Or, the male equivalent, anyways. That's usually when they start needing Viagra. They start slowly decreasing their body's production of testosterone, and it causes all these problems like depression and sexual problems. But it (usually) doesn't occur until age 35 or later. (I saw this on some Health channel thing) So, OP, you're just going through menopause early! That /does/ suck, though.. :3 FYL.

I disagree that it is like menopause, because menopause results in no more babies from mommy whereas men are fertile up until they die, granted they have no other problems.

there is such thing as male menopause and if teenage girls go through a female menopause (which happens quite often) why shouldn't a man? it is a fml but hay Viagra can be your best friend

I think you mean menstruation, menopause doesn't occur in women until about age 50.

At least when your teachers start acting like a bitch you can go up to them, place a hand on their shoulder and say, "Oh honey, I know what you're going through."

Well if you know what a period is then menopause is basically when the period stops completely. I'm sure you know women get periods once a month well when they reach a stage in their lives that their period stops completely (I think some point after age 45) then that's called menopause. This is also the time women stop producing ovaries which means they can't have kids and have less interest in sexual activity.

"Producing ovaries"? LOL. Ovaries are the organs that produce the eggs. During menopause, the ovaries stop producing eggs.

producing ovaries AHAHAHAHA

Plus women do not "produce eggs" during their life, the "eggs" are built before the birth. Girls basically come to the world with a fixed amount of eggs, and start releasing them once a month when they hit puberty. (To explain it very roughly).
