Today, my 18-year-old boyfriend freaked out and kept asking me if I was sure I wouldn't get pregnant, because I forgot to take my birth control pill last night. We didn't actually have sex; he apparently thought me simply missing the pill would magically get me pregnant. The hell? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I were about to get intimate for the first time. He said he didn't want to use a condom, and that I should just give him one of my birth control pills instead, "so we can still be just as safe". What the hell? FML
Today, I woke up to my boyfriend throwing my birth control box at me and shouting that I was a slut for cheating on him since we never had sex. I attempted to explain the birth control was for a condition I have that causes my period to be non-existent. He didn't believe me. FML
Today, my boyfriend said that to be extra careful he's been taking my birth control pills too. FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend has been slipping me abortion pills to "supplement" my regular birth control. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me, panicking. Apparently he had a headache, but wasn't concentrating on what tablets he grabbed, and accidentally took tablets for "relief of period pain". He was convinced he was going to grow ovaries overnight. FML
Today, I realised my period was two weeks late and panicked about being pregnant due to missing a pill a few weeks ago. Then I remembered I haven't had sex in almost a year. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé, with whom I've been with for 10 years, doesn't want to have sex with me because he thinks I'm going to trap him into having a baby. He sees me take my contraceptive pill nightly and knows I was booked in for having a coil fitted before Covid-19 happened. FML
Today, my girlfriend freaked out, thinking she might be pregnant due to her period being late. I found myself reminding her that one actually has to have had sex recently to become pregnant. We've been living together, sexless, for over a year. FML
Today, I found out that even though my girlfriend is on the pill, and even though my girlfriend took emergency contraception, she became pregnant days after the first time we had sex without a condom. FML
Today, I found out I was pregnant. When I told my boyfriend that I couldn't believe this happened, he said, "I'm not going to lie, I didn't always pull out fast." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you had sex this week it's possible. Sperm lives in the body for a lot longer than you'd expect.

It is still very possible to get pregnant while on birth control. That's why it's recommended that you use the pill and a condom.

I feel bad for all of you commenting. Sperm can live up to a week inside her. No hope for this country

Most pills prevent ovulation, unless she's very unlucky and that short dip in the hormones the pill provides causes her to release an egg then it shouldn't matter, there's nothing to fertilise. That said it's best not to take a risk, that's how babies are made!

Sperm can live in your body for up to a week, he is actually has a right to freak out.

I find this remarkable--- Scandinavians are reputed to be so much more sophisticated in such matters.

Freaking out for the wrong reason aside, an unplanned pregnancy is near the top of every guys fear list, so I can see why the thought of you missing a pill freaked him out.

well technically you can still get pregnant because sperm can live inside you for three days.
