Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Same thing different taste
Today, I went to the local pharmacy to buy some condoms. When I went to go purchase them, the elderly lady behind the counter took one look at me and said, "Honey, you're your own birth control." FML
Today, I went to the pharmacy to buy the Plan B pill. The pharmacist recognized me and said, "Really? Again?" FML
Today, a lady stormed into the pharmacy I work at and chewed me out because the medicine I sold her the day before gave her horrible diarrhea as a "side effect". I checked, and it was the medicine she asked for - laxatives. FML
Timing
Today, I went to my doctor to get the morning after pill. I explained to her that the condom broke and I was nervous. She simply asked me, "When?" so I replied "Towards the end." I didn't realize she was actually asking what day this happened. FML
Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML
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
Too little, too late
Today, I went to the health department to get on some birth control. I left the health department without birth control, and with the news that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I had to take Viagra. FML
Go forth and NOT multiply
Today, my dad handed me my refilled birth control prescription. I thanked him, and he replied, "Well, God forbid you run out and reproduce." FML
Today, I went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML

Yeah, I don't get why either. Was it your real birthday or did it mean something else?

They should call it "baby chaser" instead of the morning after pill.

Uhm, she has a right to be mad that you're killing the thing? You deserved that shame, my friend.

Here's a quick education: It takes something like 2 days for the sperm to even reach the egg and even if it does it has to burrow in still. Thus, if it's the morning after... what does that conclude? It's not killing anything cos there's nothing to kill. Except sperm. Even so, an embryo doesn't even become a fetus (baby) until after 12 weeks. It's just a bunch of cells. So it's not even a baby. And even so the body can miscarry an embryo any time before those 12 weeks, and sometimes even after... so does that mean you're a murderer if you miscarry???

'Uhm, she has a right to be mad that you're killing the thing? You deserved that shame, my friend.' wow. First and foremost, the morning after pill is not a termination of a pregnancy but and emergency contraceptive - it prevents implantation. Just because it is not something you would do does not mean that women should not be entitled to it. Secondly, no one should be shamed for buying the morning after pill, i think it is much more respectable to be proactive and avoid a pregnancy than to be irresponsible and leave yourself with very few other options.

#21 She's not killing anything. The morning after pill does not terminate a pregnancy, it stops the pregnancy from happening like the Pill.

thanks #22 i was hoping someone would point that out. and this isnt really an FML. so what if someone says "happy birthday?" if you get disowned by your parents for actually getting an abortion, that would be an FML.

by "happy birthday", she was commenting on the "killing" her unborn baby by taking the morning after pill.

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are all making yourselves look incompetent. The morning-after pill just prevents conception, like a super-concentrated birth control pill. It does not "kill" anything, not even one cell. I know a couple other people already pointed that out, but I'm just reiterating the fact. DO WORK, SON. on another note, the "happy birthday" might have had nothing to do with the pill. I know a lot of people who say "happy birthday" whenever they give anything to anyone. just saying.
