Today, I gave a beautiful book of baby names to a friend of mine who's been trying to get pregnant for a while. She just burst into tears when she saw it. Just before meeting me, she'd found out she was sterile. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my friend told me she wanted to get pregnant. I thought that was good news, but then she said she wanted my boyfriend to be the father of her baby. FML
Today, I helped a lady give birth on the train. She was so happy she asked if she could name the baby after me, but as I told her my name she visibly turned her nose up at it, turned to her husband, and suggested naming it after his grandfather instead. FML
Today, my child-hating friend who vowed never to have any no matter what, announced that she's pregnant. I've had three IVF cycles, spent $90k in fertility treatments, and still can't conceive. FML
Today, a pregnant friend who is due in 2 weeks posted a picture of a baby on Facebook. I commented congratulations. She's still pregnant. It was a picture of her baby who died 3 years ago. FML
Today, I was selling personalised stockings at work. When handing a customer's order over to her, which had no name on, I joked, "Oooh this is a bit mysterious". She replied, "Actually, it's in memory of the baby I miscarried earlier this year." FML
Today, I had to call a parent and tell them that their special needs daughter is pregnant. FML
Today, I introduced my coworker to my friend's boyfriend. When I mentioned his name, she started crying. Apparently he has the same first name as her twin brother, who died shortly after birth, so that name has become a bit of a sore spot for her. I didn't even know she had a twin. FML
Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML
Today, in front of my family, my brother's wife announced that she was pregnant with their first child. Everyone joked around and said I was next. Two weeks ago I found out that I'm sterile. FML
Today, I found out that the one who got away just had a baby, and named it after me. My current longtime girlfriend and I already decided not to have kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, it took so long for someone to point out the correct term? Only males can be sterile.

That's extremely sad, but a thoughtful gift had the circumstances not been so unfortunate.

I agree with what some people are saying, you should have waited until she got pregnant.

idiot, it's very unlikely that they'd assume she'd be sterile. as if you take precautions for everything before knowing they could happen

You know, you're totally right. What woman who has the dream of having a family wouldn't want to have a child? I mean, who wants to look at their own baby and see themselves in them? It's so STUPID right? Women totally LOVE that pain. It's called numbing drugs so that they don't have to feel the pain. Some opt for it, some don't. The moment i read your comment, I knew you were a guy.

YDI YDI YDI what an asshole thing to do. If she's been trying to get pregnant and having difficulties don't buy a gift like that.

YDI, you shouldn't give someone a gift like that unless you know for sure that they're pregnant.

FYL. It was just bad timing! Give her a shoulder to cry on, she'll need it for a while. Hopefully she'll think about adoption!
