Today, after I got the birth control implant, waited a week like my doctor told me, my fiancé is still too scared that I'll get pregnant. It's been two months. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Skipped
Today, I found out that I’m pregnant even though I've had the implant for a couple of years. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that I got knocked up after only seeing the guy for a few weeks, or the fact that I had a boyfriend for five years and it never happened. The new guy thinks I lied and bailed. FML
Yeet it
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
Non-baby fever
Today, I found out that my fiancé, with whom I've been with for 10 years, doesn't want to have sex with me because he thinks I'm going to trap him into having a baby. He sees me take my contraceptive pill nightly and knows I was booked in for having a coil fitted before Covid-19 happened. FML
Weeks?
Today, I’m allergic to all forms of hormonal birth control, and due to the virus outbreak, I can’t get my implant replaced. We’re in quarantine, and my boyfriend and I just used our last condom. It’s going to be a long couple of weeks. FML
Go deep
Today, it's been one week since I went to get my birth control renewed. It also marks 16 days until I get the half that broke off in my uterus removed. FML
Oops
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
Noob
Today, my 18-year-old boyfriend freaked out and kept asking me if I was sure I wouldn't get pregnant, because I forgot to take my birth control pill last night. We didn't actually have sex; he apparently thought me simply missing the pill would magically get me pregnant. The hell? FML
Today, after nearly 5 months of trying for a baby, I found out my wife has continued to take the pill as it gave her a better idea of her cycle and thus when she'd be "most fertile". FML
Not a Bio major
Today, my boyfriend said that to be extra careful he's been taking my birth control pills too. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were about to get intimate for the first time. He said he didn't want to use a condom, and that I should just give him one of my birth control pills instead, "so we can still be just as safe". What the hell? FML

I mean, with a fiancée, this wouldn't be a problem. A fiancé, however, is another story.

As they say in middleschool, the only way to not get pregnant is abstinence!

Or stick to ******** and anal.
GhostFox 34
******** can transfer sperm to the uterus if the person with it masturbates at any point is in a hand that's touched any semen or pre-cum. Anal sex is even less safe- not only can semen drop into the ****** during sex if the ****** is positioned where gravity can make it run there. And after the dick comes out, it would be even worse, because it would get on the persons thighs and smeared around that region. So, yeah, if you wanna get real technical, the only 100% safe form of sex I can think of would be to clean two seats diagonal from each other, each person ********** their own junk, watch the other person, and aim waaaaaaay the hell away from the ****** across the room. And then the bearer of the the almighty uterus would need to leave first, without touching anything, so they don't risk getting semen on their ******.

My grandmother said there were situations causing her to ask about possibly becoming pregnant (didn't want to be) and her doctor always told her "The ONLY woman that CAN'T get pregnant is a dead woman.".

Don't have sex, because you will get pregnant... And die.

Because he's scared he'll "implant" in you. But seriously though, I understand your pain.
DaDezza244 31
it seems the partner is a girl considering the word 'fiancée'
kitteh90 14
If he's so scared why don't you just use condoms too
Lalala579121 28
They have a .001% chance of breaking. That's too much risk.

Shh you with your helpful ideas

Maybe she doesn't like them.

I was going to say the same thing. I wish people would learn the difference.
sukkaass 15
eh do someone else so he'll see it works bwahaha
RichardPencil 32
He's either cheating on you or he's gay. Sorry to break it to you, but at least you're good to go for the next guy.
demideity 13
Jumping to conclusions, I see...

Can you think of more plausible reasons for the fiancé's "fear?"
Solano2580 24
The patch isn't a 100% fix and he isn't ready for children, also the fact that the OP is rushing this means she would be more likely to be the cheater, not the fiancé considering. You are just assuming the guy is at fault either because he's in the closet or he's unfaithful, with no evidence to contribute your claims, which makes them ridiculous.
RichardPencil 32
Admittedly, I don't have evidence. When commenting on an FML, one rarely has much evidence. You think his irrational fear of impregnating her gives him the right to deny her sex for two months? How does that work?
GhostFox 34
Actually, yes, his "irrational fear" of getting his spouse-to-be pregnant DOES give him the right to refuse to have sex. It's called consent. If she were to make him have sex despite him saying he doesn't want to, it would be rape. Which is illegal. Rather importantly, that "irrational fear" as you called it? It's a hell of a lot better than not caring, getting someone pregnant, and then leaving a child either with a single parent or in the foster system. Now that's a shitty thing to do- decide that a few minutes of pleasure is worth creating a life that will suffer because you didn't want it or couldn't raise it, but still decided to **** someone. Shit happens, any birth control can fail. And with IUDs, pregnancy can be lethal to the child AND parent, plus permanently damage or even destroy the reproductive organs of the pregnant parent. And there are ALSO phobias about that, which is a medical condition. Also, there's nothing saying all sex sex has to be completely off the table- penetrative sex with the fiancé penetrating OP vaginally is, but most other positions would be more than fine between the IUD and keeping the semen away from the vaginal area.
Lalala579121 28
Pretty much being human gives us the right to deny sex for as long as we want to so... And they're not married, so he's not her slave yet.

Ah yes, the typical mindset many people think a male has- If he doesn't want to have sex, he's cheating or gay! Newsflash: men aren't walking dogs in heat, they don't always want sex and do not have to have sex if they don't want to. The fact that he's scared he's going to get his fiancee pregnant makes it seem as if he might be a virgin, which would be a plausible reason to be afraid to do it. And even if he's not, he still has a right to be cautious and not want to put out.

Either reassure him and get things started in the bedroom, or become best friends with your toys until he comes around.
clair_brodie 35
Then have him where a condom. And if that does not work, maybe he is just not ready for sex.
themanontheedge 13
Well, the implementation still is not a sure fire method of preventing pregnancy. Condoms and meds also help if you're trying to avoid childbirth.
DanielleinDC 34
The implant is "meds"; it works similarly to the pill or DepoProvera.
Rabite 28
So if I'm pregnant I can use a condom to prevent childbirth? Kewl.
