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?
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 think you should've known something was wrong after the first month of still being on your period.

1. Yes you can have sex while on your period. That's how your partner gets their "red wings". And why can't you just insert a cup??? (oh just to clarify, its made of rubber and covers your uterus, and its not a sippy cup or mcdonalds gallon cup0 2. If you bothered to read the documentation that came with your contraceptives, it would tell you to consult your GP if side effects continue on for any length of time. Online medical advice says to see your Dr if your bleeding goes for a month - if its an implant in your arm they advise to remove it. 3. Actually, just have sex anyway, I'm sure you can't get pregnant if you don't want to....

change the brand I was on one that had 50% chance of that side effect or 50% you won't have any period also 1/100 would get pregnant and it caused acne - I was prescribed it for getting rid of acne... amongst many awful, and common, side effects I can't remember the name of it unfortunately but look it up and see what's been said about your's

I told my doctor repeatedly when I bled for months on Depo Provera; however, he kept saying, "It will stop." I just never took another shot and ended up having my tubes tied, and, later, a hysterectomy. Don't assume she hasn't spoken to a doc. Also, some women bleed so much sex is impossible. Clots, etcetera, are NOT sexy!

it happens all the time... doctors will just tell you that its normal with any type of BC , and I agree its a great way to keep from having babies by not being able to have sex at all
