Today, I must be the only person who has been taking the contraceptive pill for six years without ever needing to use it as a contraceptive. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, thanks to a new form of birth control, I've now been having my period non-stop for six weeks. FML
Today, I realized that without my birth control pills, I would have no idea what day it is. FML
Today, I found out that I have unnecessarily been using birth control for the past 10 years. A surgery I had following a complication with my first child apparently rendered me infertile, and none of the doctors bothered to enlighten me. FML
Today, I found out that after using several types of birth control, and being paranoid about pregnancy, I've been infertile for years. 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, 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
Today, I figured out how my birth control works. If you're on your period for four months straight you can't have sex, so you won't be pregnant. FML
Today, I had the contraceptive implant removed from my arm after having had it in for three years. I was one of the unlucky people whose body sticks to it. It took half an hour to cut and pull a tiny little stick out of my arm. FML
Today, for the last two years of trying for a baby, my wife has been secretly still on the pill and takes a morning after pill every time we had sex. Funny, I thought we both wanted a baby, so I guess she doesn’t. FML
Today, I’ve had an irregular period my whole life. I was on birth control and took out my IUD in January. I’ve had my period ever since. It’s going on 5 months now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tons of people take birth control. Hell, I'm a lesbian and I take it to regulate my hormones/period/migraines. The real FML is that you haven't had sex in six years.

It's kindof sad that everyone says "ohhh, it sucks that you haven't had sex in six years" There is a ton of people that never have because they don't want to. I'm not having sex until I'm married. And I'm fine with that. so honestly anyone can survive without having sex. It's not that big of a deal.

Some people take it because it helps with their complexion and, like #3 said, regulate hormones. Perhaps you could try to convince yourself that is the real reason. If you lie to yourself long enough you might start to believe it.

My best friend has to take the pill because she's anemic. If she didn't, her period would just keep going. D:

could you be any less exciting of an individual?

#26 I didn't have sex until I was almost 21, so I agree with you that going a long time without sex isn't a total tragedy. It sucks, yeah, but it's not the end of the world. I didn't wait until marriage or anything, but still...

Oh here we go with the waiting until marriage BS again... A noble thought til you're a year into that marriage and completely miserable in your sex life, something that couldve been avoided with a few test drives.
nerdsgetmehot 23
I wasn't agreeing with #26's "no sex before marriage" stance, but I was saying that not having sex on a regular basis isn't the end of the world...Just to clarify. :P

43: I usually agree with your posts, kt, even if I don't always share your outlook. But 26 wasn't berating anyone for being sexually active; she was responding to the FML and other comments with her opinion-- an opinion shared by people without her abstinence convictions, like nerds. The "YDI for having sex before marriage" posts are obnoxious, but this isn't one of them. You're the one stirring the pot here. :-/

@ 43 I really am not trying to throw my beliefs in your face, so you don't need to throw you're attitude at me. I was stating what I believe, not trying to convert you. I believe that waiting until marriage is better, and that's that. I could care less what you think.

nerdsgetmehot got it right. :) There's no need to put sex on this golden pedestal of life and speak of it in awe. If you like it - good for you, go hump anything that walks if that tickles your fancy. If you choose to wait - great, you probably have a justified reason to. Some people need to get over themselves. BoogerBalls, I waited til I was almost 20 and I can assure, you I am not a boring individual. Just cba'd, is all. So gtfo.

Not ranting at you specifically, more at the idiocy of society for shoving this stupid notion down kids' throats. I'm 24, been active for 10 years, and still have no idea how the hell to put on a condom since my schools were too conservative for sex ed and had only abstinence (a lot of good that did)... I am reminded of a Family Guy episode...

I get your frustration, kt. I *was* abstinant till marriage because it was right for me, but I totally disagree with abstinance-only sex ed, putting sex on a "holy" pedestal, and making it a taboo subject. That can be just as harmful to a future marriage as being promiscuous (note: I didn't say being sexually active). My point was just that you seemed angry about a debate that wasn't happening, and/or an attitude that wasn't there. I understand venting, but coming down on someone for her abstinance unprovoked is just as bad as the "YDI for having sex" posts. But since you clarified that you weren't doing that, all's well. :)

I do agree that schools should show other ways to be safe, because to be honest, there is pregnant 7th graders where I live. And I never wanted to sound like *I* was shoving my ideas down your throat. It does depend on the person and what's right. I won't disagree with your views if you can respect mine.

Nope! My bosses are a lesbian couple and take it to regulate their cycles. No contraception needed when you're bumpin doughnuts.

#30 Huh?
nerdsgetmehot 23
#42 I wasn't disagreeing with 23, I was saying "no" to the general FML-- OP isn't the only one that goes on birth control for a long time without being sexually active.

I've been on the pill for almost 10 years now for medical problems (no, not acne) and have yet to have sex. I see no problem with this.
