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.

My girlfriend and the rest of the females in her family take it for medicinal reasons. Lessen cramp pain, fight acne, generally make things easier.

Well check this out; if you're a virgin your body wont crave/want sex. But once you lose your virginity you know what it feels like so that's when your body wants it.

That's not true. How do you think people lose their virginity in the first place? Accident? A lot of virgins crave it. And after knowing what it feels like, you might decide you don't want it any more.

Bullshit, 108! The horniest I've ever been was before I knew sex wasn't all it's cracked up to be. Our bodies are meant to crave it so we continue on the human race. Jesus, get educated.

108 has confused his facts, methinks. I don't know about men, but generally a woman's sex drive *does* increase with the frequency of her sexual activity (or maybe it's her orgasms-- I can't recall). So in a way, the more you have it, the more you want it. That's why doctors tell women with low libidos to have sex or ********** anyway. "Generally" is the key word here; there are always exceptions, like women with traumatic experiences, recurring sexual disappointment, sexual disillusionment, hormonal imbalances, etc. BUT, that doesn't mean virgins can't have very high libidos; as Toxi said, that's illogical. Besides, OP doesn't say she's a virgin, just that she hasn't had sex in 6 years. She could very well remember what she's missing. Add in her likely age and the fact that women's sex drives naturally peak later than men's, and 108's statement becomes nearly nonsensical.

I agree 100%, Toxicunt. Then, once I did have sex (since he wasn't that great...) I felt I really didn't want it as much. One of the other guys wasn't that great either, but we did it a lot. I still didn't want it. :/ Which leads me to JaneDoe's post. I think it's the frequency of ******... Let's just say my latest experiences have shown that.

NOT CORRECT. I'm a virgin and I crave sex. My cousin isn't a virgin and hates sex. I think it all depends on your first time.

Be glad you're allowed it. With or without the need for contraceptive.

well there are some girls who have to take it for other reasons, before they are even sexually active. I have a rare condition and if I miss a single pill, I get ridiculously sick during my period. I've been taking the pills since I was 13. now I'm 23 and married, but you weren't alone OP. there were many years before I became sexually active and I still took the pill.

someone please recommand me cheap place for birth control ;(

Call your local health department or Planned Parenthood clinic if you're in the States. If you're uninsured or birth control isn't covered by your insurance, you can get birth control for free or at a discount. They use a sliding scale so your medication cost and appointment fee depend on your wages. Usually you have to go in for an exam and pap smear, and they'll likely give you a year's worth of pills if your history is OK. Just make sure you give yourself lots of time for the appointment; I've spent 5+ hours there in the past.
