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.

I've been on bc for 13 years...I'm 28....thus meaning I was prescribed the pill at the age of 15. This is definitely (IMO) a FML. The reason I was perscribed contraception was to calm the cramping down & regulate my cycle. So, in conclusion, OP, there should be nothing to be upset over. :-)

Plenty of people read them. You apparently don't, but you're only one person.

actually, I live in Canada. where we ride polar bears to school and have pet beavers. yes, I may not be old enough to understand a silly little fight about gender role, it doesn't matter how old I am. age is just a number. clearly, no one told you that.

If age is not important, than why did you bother to mention it in the first place?

OP, when did you start taking the pill? I know many people that remained virgins until they were between 18-22. Your story isn't that bad... unless you're over 25!

oral is sex

OP, there are A LOT more women than you think who are on the pill LONG before they have sex for the first time. Especially women who have Polycystic Ovary Disease or Endometriosis. Don't feel bad, be proud that you don't "give it up" for every man you see. Chastity is a virtue that isn't much appreciated these days. And for everyone who says I must be an old, dried up spinster or a virgin who has never even thought about sex, I'd like to set the record straight. I'm 22, got married at 20. Only been with one man because women who sleep with tons of men are ******.

I'm 27 and celebrating my 5 year anniversary tomorrow. We were both virgins when we married and haven't cheated since. HOWEVER, having sex with more than one man does NOT always equal promiscuity. The end of your post reads as very self-righteous and condescending; comments like those piss me off because they further stereotype the premaritally abstinant. When to become sexually active is a personal, relative decision, and there are lots of mature, moral adults who choose to have sex before an engagement or marriage. Doing so doesn't make anyone a ***** or a ****, just like choosing abstinance doesn't make anyone a superior person or a prude, or exclude them from possibly being a pervert.

143 - What happens if a woman marries several times throughout her life, waiting to have sex with each man until she's married? If she's had 4-5 spouses and she's slept with every single one of them, she is not a *****.

So, since you're saying that she deserves whatever bad things that happen to her posting this, she deserves to be hit by a car? What the **** crawled up your ass and died?
