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

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 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, exactly 28 days after I started my last period, I started a new period. This would be perfectly healthy and normal except that my last period was 24 days long. This has happened every month this year. FML
Today, I realized that my wife is on her 3rd month using an IUD. The side effect is nonstop bleeding. I haven't had sex with her since she got it. I'd say this contraceptive is working perfectly. FML
Today, I started my period. Unfortunately, my last period only ended six days ago. PCOS sucks. FML
Today, I have peace of mind that I am not pregnant, thanks to my IUD. It's not because of the effectiveness of the contraceptive, but my inability to touch my boyfriend. I haven't stopped bleeding since my doctor installed it 3 weeks ago. FML
Today, my period started again. I just finished a 17-day period 3 days ago. 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, I found out that I'm pregnant. I had an IUD put in two years ago that's supposed to prevent pregnancy. To put it in perspective, less than 1% of people using this IUD get pregnant. Lucky me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This should have been referred to an OB at about day 13.

While you wait for your doctor consult, may I suggest eating food rich in iron, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. Like blood sausages.

See your doctor *ASAP.*

I bled frequently and heavily until my hysterectomy at age 32, in 2012. My diagnosis was adenomyosis, which at the time could only be diagnosed after hysterectomy; I believe that now, improved ultrasound technology can detect it. It's a disorder where your uterus tries as hard as it can to turn every bit of iron in your blood into uterine lining. It nearly killed me. Please, please see a doctor, if you can. If you can't, then keep an eye on yourself for signs of severe anemia, and go to the hospital if you notice them. In the meantime, take iron supplements and eat iron-rich foods including not just red meat, but spinach and (conveniently for the season) watermelon.
