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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

This literally just happened to me with my birth control! I ended up getting it taken out and it stopped immediately. I thought I was going to go crazy.

Periods are different for every girl, I have friends who get their period every 3 months, others every 3 weeks. But... You might wanna see a doctor OP, 4 months straight, might get you anemia, or worst. Take care please!

as someone who has gone through that I advice you go to your doctor asap. my problem was a hormonal imbalance and was controlled by birth control. It might be that your particular birth control is messing with your hormone levels. like everyone else said. it's not normal and it's hell to suffer through that. hope you get better.

Bleeding for four months straight can't be how the medicine works. I'd see a doctor immediately.

Whilst it's not normal it's also not abnormal depending on some types of pills. I was told by my go that I would either most probably have no period or constant period on the contraception she gave me
