Today, after months of trying for a baby and telling me how he wants a family and can't wait to have a kid with me, my boyfriend was relieved when I got a negative home test, saying he's not ready for kids yet. I took another test this morning. I'm pregnant. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my pregnancy test came back positive. My boyfriend is no fan of fatherhood, so it was with some hesitation that I called him and let him know I'm pregnant. He replied, "Like hell you are!" and hung up. He now refuses to answer any of my calls. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office after getting a positive pregnancy test. She did another one to confirm the result, which came back negative. My husband is wandering around with a great big smile on his face, because he isn't going to "have a rugrat." FML
Today, after months of my fiancé begging me to have a baby with him, I found out I’m pregnant. He doesn’t want a baby anymore. FML
Today, I was ecstatic that the pregnancy test I took was negative. I went to high-five my boyfriend as I told him the good news. Apparently, it’s monstrous, unladylike and weird for a woman to not want children. When I pointed out he doesn’t want kids either, he said, "That’s normal for guys." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of 4 years that I'm pregnant. He suggested we get a paternity test done. FML
Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. Instead of being happy, he freaked out, then told me I was trying to "trap" him. We've been together for 12 years, and trying for 3. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he thought about having kids and, without a pause, he went, “Ew, no thanks.” I’m pretty sure I’m six weeks pregnant so, yeah… FML
Today, after trying for months for a baby, I finally got a positive test. For chlamydia. FML
Today, I turned down my boyfriend's proposal because I'm pregnant and I told him I didn't want people thinking that's why we were getting married. He… did not react well. Yes, he knows that I'm pregnant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It’s not uncommon for people to have mixed feelings about things of importance. Give your boyfriend a chance to react to the new results before getting upset. OP - A bit of personal advice. Relationships and family are big steps in life - Take it slow. If the two of you are not committed enough to each other to get married, then it’s premature to start trying to have children.

Its time for another game of "Guess who wanted the abortion!"

Are you sure it’s not a false positive? If the last one was negative…

If she tested too early then the pregnancy hormones were not high enough to give a positive result.

False positives don't exist because pregnancy tests react to pregnancy hormones. On the other hand a false negative can be possible if the test is done too early and the hormones not high enough.

As a woman who has had many negative home test results while actually pregnant, and using the dates recommended on the box. I consulted with a doctor,apparently false negatives are very common while false positives are very, very rare.

While I do agree that starting a family is a big step and you should take time to make it. I disagree that there first should be a marriage, before you can start on children. Commitment and support from both partners is of course very important, as is communication and planning about this decisions, but in my eyes that can be obtained in different ways than just marriage. so for the OP I would go talk with your boyfriend again. He might also have been relieved with the negative earlier because he is scared and doubting himself. Talking about having a child and wanting a child is very different from actually having a child and facing that reality.

I upvoted for the “give the boyfriend a chance to react” part but like the other commenter I don’t believe marriage and commitment need to go hand in hand. Marriage isn’t necessary to be fully committed nor does it indicate full commitment.

You should do one of those surprise announcements and get his reaction on video. Maybe buy him a shirt that says: Daddy drinks because you cry.

Tell him, but take a video. When you child is in his/her 30s or 40s it will be great for some laughs

if you guys break up make sure you change your emergency contact information. wouldn't want him saying to pull the plug

Yes, your bf has mixed feelings towards having a child and this will be made clear when you have a child. One look at your baby and he will know that's what he wants. Ideally speaking of course.

I'm pretty sure waiting until you see the kid is a bad way to gauge whether you want kids or not... it's a bit late with no return policy at that point.

It's also possible he was acting relieved and saying that he wasn't ready yet as a odd way of trying to be supportive since y'all have been trying. That can be a lot of stress for people who are struggling with fertility. And now he has 8 months to get ready.

give him a minute to absorb this. It's the only thing that effects your life as much as death.
