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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

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 know the feeling! After almost 3 months and a not so happy boyfriend, I finally was back to normal! My doc told me it was just my body fighting the birth control but will go away soon, I hope all is well with you and your cycle medically!

Was it the Depo shot? That happened to me. I ended up hospitalized.

I've heard of bleeding for a week and not dying but 4 months you need to go to a doctor

Guys, this is not abnormal. It is an uncommon side effect. When I first tried DepoProvera I bled constantly for the first 3 months. I told my OBGYN about it at the next shot, he said it was normal and that this shot should stop them. It didn't, I continued to bleed because the shot was basically not allowing the uterine liner to stick. I skipped the next shot and a month later I had not stopped bleeding for 7 months straight. Went back to find out that this happens to very few women and he then perscribed me with lots of orthotrycyclin (the pill). I took a months worth in a week to stop the bleeding then normal dose. But if I stopped taking the pills, I would start bleeding, this happened until the Depo completely worked its way out of my system, nearly a year later.
