Today, my girlfriend asked me to get her a pregnancy test. After using it, we couldn't find how to tell if she was or wasn't pregnant. After about 10 minutes of waiting, Google searching, and tension, I realized I had bought an ovulation test. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my pregnant girlfriend asked me if she should take a pregnancy test to make sure the baby is really hers. FML
Today, my girlfriend tells me she missed her period this month. I felt excited until she said, "I will let you know the results of the paternity test." I was not aware we needed a paternity test. FML
Today, I took a pregnancy test. When I saw that the result was positive, I started crying and showed my mom. She burst out laughing and told me that I had taken an ovulation test. FML
Today, three weeks after my girlfriend told me she was pregnant, she admitted it was a lie. Turned out it was just a test to see if I'd break up with her or not. I didn't, but I did just break the bank buying all the things we'd need for an actual kid. FML
Today, my wife told me she’s pregnant and we went through the whole range of emotions together, surprise, happiness, tears, anger, acceptance, you name it. An hour later she said she wanted to save the pregnancy test for memories. Guess she forgot her glasses, it very clearly says NOT pregnant. FML
Today, I decided I was gonna take a pregnancy test after being two months late. I bought two because I was sure it would give me a positive. That same night I got my period. FML
Today, I went into a gynecology appointment to find out my IUD had apparently fallen out without me knowing. What tipped me off? My pregnancy test. FML
Today, I went to the store to go buy a pregnancy test because my period was 7 days late. I get home, go into the bathroom, pull down my underwear, pee and come to find out I'd started my period when I looked at it after peeing on it. FML
Today, my mother told me she needed a urine sample to send in to the doctors to test for any allergies. I did what she had asked and went to my room. I came down stairs later and found her in the bathroom putting my pee on a pregnancy test stick. FML
Today, after nearly a month, I found out my wife isn't pregnant after all. She was just screwing around to win a bet with her friends on how long it'd take me to figure out the truth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just a quick question, did you guys actually read the box? Seems like that would've cleared up a lot of confusion.

I hate how they're stocked together so if you're going to that section with doom and despair in your heart you're greated with upbeat packaging with smiling thrilled-to-be-pregnant/fertile women on. I want my own 'paranoid hypochondriac' aisle with reassuring statements about how effective my contraception is dammit.

Don't keep us in suspense, man. Was she ovulating or not?

The pair of you should have used contraceptive measures like condoms and pills those may not be totally effective but you two clearly feel confident enough to run the gauntlet therefore must be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions including pregnancy so you only have yourself to blame

Uhhh....maybe they were trying to get pregnant?

Where did OP say that it was an unplanned pregnancy, or that they won't take responsibility if she is pregnant? Nowhere. Married people also use pregnancy tests, and men get them for their wives too. Newsflash, many couples have wanted kids before they get married.

Pills can not work, condoms can break, morning after pills aren't 100% effective. If you're a woman in a long-term sexually active relationship you're probably an oddity if you haven't had a delayed period or something and thought '...oh no' (or 'oh yay!' since you don't have to be married to want babies). Taking a pregnancy test is the responsible thing to do, especially if you want to use a pill that would mask the symptoms or start making plans if you are pregnant.

Maybe the were trying to get pregnant. Or maybe their birth control failed...? I've had many pregnancy scares while on the pill and using condoms. A scare doesn't mean you are actually pregnant, it just means your period is late and you freak because you know nothing is 100% effective.

My best friend did that a few weeks ago because she thought it was a pregnancy test it was the ovulation test, it was positive so I had her buy a actual pregnancy test with me so I knew it really was. Thank god it was negative. Lol

My younger brother & another one of his bro friends from College went shopping for pregnancy tests together, because both there girlfriends thought they were pregnant! My idiot brother & his friend both bought ovulation test kits thinking they were pregnancy test kits! And to make matters worse, 1 off the girlfriends test came back positive, which caused all 4 off them to freak out & call me the only older sibling! Long story short, no pregnancies, both guys have new girlfriends & I have since taken my brother shopping to teach him the differences between the 2 test and all the boxes! OP don't feel bad, the boxes are labeled for woman to interpret & even we fail at that sometimes! Congrats if you are going to be a Dad!

I feel like this is your sign. Use protection. Don't reproduce until you can read boxes.

If you both can't figure out the difference between a pregnancy test or an ovulation test, you are way too naive, immature or uneducated to be having sex in the first place; let alone have a child.

That seems harsh, people get the wrong thing at the store from time to time. My husband got nectarines instead of peaches by accident today, guess he's immature and not fit to parent since he made a mistake and bought a similar-looking but different product? And in OP's case it's even more understandable since the prospect of a pregnancy (whether planned or unplanned) would make a person a bit frazzled and anxious to take the test.

I feel bad for your future children.
