Today, after trying unsuccessfully for three or so years to have a baby with my wife, my broodiness has gotten so bad that when I saw a couple with their daughter at the bus stop, I briefly had a daydream where I shot them in the head and took their daughter home to raise as my own. FML

OP here. Wow, wasn't expecting so many comments! I feel I should probably clarify a few things here: First of all, I have a very vivid imagination and tend to have involuntary daydreams where various scenarios to a situation play out. This was one such case, and doesn't mean I'm violent or am actually contemplating shooting people or anything like that, my mind just rollercoasters through various things happening and I'm just sort of along for the ride. I found this one amusing enough to post on FML. My wife and I are currently looking into fertility tests to find out exactly what the problem is, and will of course consider adoption/fostering if it turns out that natural conception isn't on the cards. Don't worry, I'm not going to abduct anyone's kids or go on a murder spree. :P

Maybe see a therapist op? Also, there's fertility clinics and treatments you can get to enhance your chances of having a kid. Best of luck!

Maybe think about trying adoption if at all possible. I wish you the best of luck OP with whatever you choose to do.

I think you've got bigger problems than infertility, dude. You know you can adopt a kid without murdering anybody, right?

@42 One stray thought doesn't make a person unfit to be a parent. Most people have homicidal/suicidal thoughts. The difference between normal and not normal is frequency and the urge to act on them. Op knows very well that his stray thought was awful.

Dude, everyone has intrusive thoughts. The sooner people admit that the easier it'll be to remove the stigma from mental illness. Now as to the unfit parent part: Tons of ******* people have mental illnesses without harming their children. My mom's post-partum depression made her want to kill her kids. She recognized that maybe that's something she didn't really wanna do and got help. But the thought that someone would be declare her unfit was a constant fear and is a fear tons of parents go through. Short version: chill the **** out

After 3 years Im sure you have tried the doctors and specialists but have you tried going to a naturopath or herbalist sometimes a simple change and going on holiday to relax can help. Good luck

I don't think getting OP's and his wife's hopes up with bullshitty pseudosciences will help.

Haha, that is awful on so many levels! You know there are other ways to have kids. Artificial incimination, having a surrogate mother, or you could consider adopting.

You should check to see if your semen is even fertile
