Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend why period blood couldn't be saved and donated to the hospital for transplants. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that no, my period arriving several days late doesn't mean I have AIDS. FML
Today, I came home to my boyfriend wearing one of my pads on his hand, because he didn't want to pay to go to the hospital for stitches. FML
Today, after I went in for surgery, I came out of extremely anemic from blood loss. As soon as I got home, I started my period. FML
Today, I told my parents that I wanted to donate blood. My dad helpfully interjected, "Sorry, they don't accept blood from gingers." FML
Today, my boyfriend clearly stated that I was "useless" when on my period. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me how women could urinate with a tampon in. FML
Today, after recently discovering that I need a bone marrow transplant, my girlfriend got tested to see if she could be a donor. When the results came back with a negative match, she blurted out, "Oh thank god." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I've missed my period, and that I think I might be pregnant. He started panicking and ended up puking in the toilet. 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 got to explain reusable period underwear to my mom, who once had to wear sanitary belts. She was horrified by the idea of underwear specifically designed to be bled into, as opposed to all the accidental bleeding into underwear not designed for it that happens every time I try to sleep on my period. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What the **** are you talking about?

You're clearly not as educated as you think you are because it's definitely not just a tablespoon per cycle. It probably varies from person to person, but can definitely be more than a tablespoon. Not to be gross, but there are times when I sit on the toilet and can literally feel it just drain out, and it's a hell of a lot more than a tablespoon. Make sure you're properly educated on the topic before you give out incorrect information.

It's part of the natural human body and happens to most females. Just because he didn't happen to really know about what a period is really like ( he's never had one) doesn't make him an idiot

People like him are the reason that condoms were invented. Please, I beg of you, do not reproduce with this idiot!

How smart you are isn't hereditary.

Actually intelligence is somewhat hereditary. Usually it is passed down from the mother to the child, so the OP need not worry for the childs brains

I don't see why the mother's intelligence would matter more. But yes, intelligence is hereditary, for a rather large part even.

Haha. I read this to my husband and his response was, "well...why couldn't they?!". So FYL and mine too! ;)
