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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, thanks to a new form of birth control, I've now been having my period non-stop for six weeks. FML
Today, I found out that after using several types of birth control, and being paranoid about pregnancy, I've been infertile for years. 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 realized that without my birth control pills, I would have no idea what day it is. 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 found out that morning after pills don't work if you're already ovulating. I also found out that I might become a father wayyyy sooner than expected. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a mother. This was a mystery, since I take birth control and use condoms all the time. Or, at least, it was, until my mother admitted to swapping my pills and poking holes in my condoms so she could have a grandchild before she died. FML
Today, I went to the health department to get on some birth control. I left the health department without birth control, and with the news that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was told that since I've had only three or four periods since 2013, there's 60 periods worth of blood clotted in my uterus. They gave me medicine to make it all come out in one week. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that my girlfriend lied about being on the pill four months ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think you should see your doctor, because that's not normal :o

You should really go to a specialist for this, it could be a serious problem down the line.

I had the same problem. I found I had to take a week break from the active pills to have a period to stop it lasting for the whole month. My doctor made me stop taking the pill when I started getting migraines and now I'm not taking anything and I'm back to the same problem. It sucks so much. I feel your pain.

You can't have sex when you are on your period?

I got my implanon in for 2 months and my period comes pretty much every second week and my mood swings were going nuts. Some people say implanon makes u You fat but surprisingly I wasn't gaining any weight instead my body was fitter than ever. But I took it out because it made me over think a lot and I didn't like it. But seriously period for a month straight is ridiculous

It's not an actual period if the pills have been taken correctly. It's withdrawal bleeding.

A 4 month period sounds absolutely horrible. That sucks. But you should probably get checked out OP.

Technically you can have sex, go get checked out though

I just had mine removed for that reason. (It was the implant). It does suck that's happening to you. Your doctor might be able to give you a low dose pill to stop the bleeding. And if that doesn't work/appeal to you, there's no shame in trying a different kind. There are plenty out there.

PCOS? Because that used to happen to me on the pill too. It SUCKS! And that was my theory too! Ha! I gave up on all of them because even the strongest ones I had break-through on. Go to the doctor and they can give you something to stop your period not (primalut it's called in Australia) and then consider going off it and either trialling different things like IUD's. I ended up deciding that with PCOS if I got pregnant naturally it was a blessing and I'd raise the child on my own. Unfortunately 13 years later I am still childless however!
