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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

am I the only person who thinks she might have found out that she is sterile? it might be wrong, but that was the first thing I thought..

That was my first thought, too. However, upon further consideration, I decided that "involuntary" abstinance was more likely, given mindset of most FML readers.

Sounds to me like your wasting British Tax dollars if that is the only reason your taking it. And what ever happened to some "self indulgence" to get over the slow times. First rule, you are responsible for your own happiness. Quit whining and make some changes in your life.

Actually I am in the same boat, mostly. I have been on "the pill" for years...due to PCOS. Not til about 2 months ago did I even need it for any other reason.

I am amazed that theres a fight going on about sex.. what are we, 10? and I totally agree with everyone that says that sex isn't the most important thing.. & yeah I'm a virgin saying that. you got a problem with that? I don't give a flying ****. I'm 14 ******* years old! I don't need to be ******* every guy I see. jeez.

yea... when I was fourteen I didn't even want to know that much about sex, I was more interested in football and being a kid. But now I'm nineteen and sex is much more important in my life. To OP: My aunt had to go on the pill to control her periods when she was about thirteen, yet didn't marry until she was thirty, which is quite a bit longer than six years.

122: Either you're a bit naive to assume your aunt didn't need birth control between the ages 13 and 30, or you've left out an important piece of info here. I'm going to assume the latter.
