Today, my girlfriend told me that she is pregnant. I asked how it could be possible, since she's on birth control. She said she didn't know her antibiotics would interfere with it. She's a pharmacist. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend told me that she's pregnant. She'd told me she was on birth control, so I asked her to show me. She had been sticking the pills up her vagina like a suppository. FML
Today, I found out that even though my girlfriend is on the pill, and even though my girlfriend took emergency contraception, she became pregnant days after the first time we had sex without a condom. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of five months is pregnant. Apparently, she stopped taking her pill two months ago because "we" wanted a baby. I don't recall ever having that discussion with her. FML
Today, I realised that when I asked my girlfriend four months ago if was she on the pill, she thought I meant hay fever tablets. I'm going to be a father. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that my girlfriend lied about being on the pill four months ago. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she feels pregnant. I didn't believe her, given how recently we had sex for the first time, so I told her to take a test to make sure. She's very sure now. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she was pregnant. We haven't had sex yet. 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, my girlfriend came back from visiting her family. She'd forgotten to take her pills, and decided to "catch up" by taking almost a week's worth of birth control and prescription pills. She's fine, but I had to convince the ER staff that she's not suicidal, just stupid. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just because she's a pharmacist, doesn't means she's a good one.

Birth control isn't 100% effective either. YDI

... shes a pharmacist.. she knows exactly what can interfere with her birthcontrol ... simply pop that antibiotic .. boom preggers she probly constantly asked you for sex. not the other way around.. to get herself knocked up

You're an idiot to believe that taking birth control means absolutely no babies. It is only 98% effective so there's a chance she could've still gotten pregnant without the antibiotics ******* it up

exactly, and that 98% is only with PERFECT use, which is very rarely ever the case. near-perfect use (much more likely) is only about 80% or so effective at best.

... Well I hope everyone realizes birth control doesn't always work. So no matter what, there was a chance of pregnancy.. So.. Ya know.

The bar in the arm is actually the trustiest one. The pill has a high chance of failing especially without a condom. It may have been carelessness on both their part.

Mazel Tov!!! If your love isn't conniving, she may have heard that, in school etc, and just forgot it. Sometimes the bad things are good.

I'm in my 3rd year of pharmacy school and I know that certain antibiotics can reduce the efficacy of birth control. Although honestly, birth control alone should not be used -- you should use other methods to be more sure, like condoms or timing of cycle, etc.

Even then doesn't matter birth control isn't 100% any way. She could be pregnant from either.

as just a pharmacy tech....I know that and tell female customers that fact when picking up any antibiotic - if she, as a pharmacist, did not then she needs some additional Schooling! another common interaction if grapefruit juice decrease the effectiveness of cholesterol meds (statins). maybe let her know!
