Today, my doctor told me I'm pregnant. Since we've been trying for several years, I called my husband to tell him the good news. Not long after, my doctor called to inform me there'd been a clerical mix-up and I'm not actually pregnant after all. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not actually pregnant. I've apparently been having a hysterical pregnancy because I want a child so badly. I don't know which was worse, the look of relief on my husband's face or having to send a mass email to inform my family and friends. FML
Today, I found out my husband is having a baby. Too bad I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, because I've been having stomach pains and nausea for weeks. He ended up gravely telling me I'm pregnant. I freaked out and panicked about what my parents would say. Then his laughter reminded me that I'm a guy. A really stupid one. FML
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I finally had my doctor's appointment to get my tubes tied. I've been waiting for 2 years. Instead, I found out that my birth control failed and I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my husband rushed me to the hospital, and we were told that I'd had a miscarriage. Neither of us knew I was pregnant. FML
Today, my husband and I did artificial insemination. At the hospital, they mixed up the sperm and didn't realize until it was too late. I'm now pregnant with a stranger's baby. FML
Today, I was at the doctors office after throwing up for the past week. My diagnosis? Apparently I'm the first pregnant man. After several minutes of me freaking out and him explaining how it was possible, he told me he was joking and that I'm fine, but my reaction was the best thus far. FML
Today, after years of trying, I got the wonderful news that my husband is going to be a father. Too bad I’m not the mother. FML

That's unfortunate. One of the few actual FMLs that are really sad. Keep trying!

I'm so, so sorry, OP. I hope you and your husband are successful in the future.

my husband and I have similar struggles, but to have the answer to your prayers in the palm of your hand only to have it ripped away... I couldn't imagine :( good luck OP!

I know how you feel OP. My husband and I tried for 7 years. Don't lose hope! I gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby girl on Saturday, and she was well worth the wait and all the heart ache. I hope for your success!

I feel bad for the father. Imagine how excited he must have been.

Adoption is a legitimate option. It's one thing to love your own child. It's a whole new level to love another persons child the same. Be strong OP.

Keep trying, OP! They told my mom she would never be able to have a kid but for the past 20 years I have served as living proof that the doctors were wrong :)

That's sad. Sorry that happened to you. I hope the next test will be positive for real with no mix ups.
