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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of five months is pregnant. Apparently, she stopped taking her pill two months ago because "we" wanted a baby. I don't recall ever having that discussion with her. 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 that after using several types of birth control, and being paranoid about pregnancy, I've been infertile for years. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that my girlfriend lied about being on the pill four months ago. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a mother. This was a mystery, since I take birth control and use condoms all the time. Or, at least, it was, until my mother admitted to swapping my pills and poking holes in my condoms so she could have a grandchild before she died. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. The problem is she convinced me to get a vasectomy two years ago. 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 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 finally had my doctor's appointment to get my tubes tied. I've been waiting for 2 years. Instead, I found out that my birth control failed and I'm pregnant. FML
Today, after nearly a month, I found out my wife isn't pregnant after all. She was just screwing around to win a bet with her friends on how long it'd take me to figure out the truth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm really concerned that neither her parents or her school gave her the talk or explained how contraceptives work.... she's lucky she hasn't developed an STD in that time. I hope she atleast knows what a condom is....

Are you sure you still want to try to reproduce that?

People keep implying your wife is stupid. She was given a medication as a (possibly quite young) teenager for a specific problem. It’s a shame she didn’t realise it was a contraceptive pill, but that’s likely inexperience, not stupidity. Good luck with the pregnancy!

Maybe that's different where OP is from, but doesn't medication usually come with a package leaflet that she could/should have read to inform herself about what she was taking?

So do you read every leaflet for everything you take? Because I tend to trust my doctors to tell me something that significant and not read the leaflet for surprises.

Do NOT trust your doctor to tell you everything about the drugs! Doctors usually know every little about the meds they prescribe!!!

Lmfao ALWAYS read what you’re taking. -.\

Yes, I do
user918 12
Yes ...? It would also be inefficient for the doctor to give me a 10 min lecture about everything that's in the leaflet if I can just read it myself. I'm not saying the doctor shouldn't have informed the wife about something as significant as the contraceptive effect of the drug he was prescribing, just saying she still could've informed herself.

if she was put on these as a young teen that leaflet probably would have been read by her parents. Frankly I never read them at that age my mom read them and then she would read them with me. I'm not gonna blame her for not knowing if she was like 13 at the time. Also frankly my mother only told me the side effects of my meds so we could watch out for them I was never even told what the intended effects were outside of the fact that they were for mood stabilization.

Oh come on. everyone knows the pill is for stopping pregnancy. if your wife is really that stupid you shouldnt be breeding any way. personally I think she doesn't want a baby.

Two years and neither of you considered the possibility? Plenty of medications do have side effects that can alter a cycle outside of the pill. Read the info the doc gives you on meds. I'd be worried about what else she hasn't questioned. People will believe some crazy stuff because they never thought to ask what it does or why something is done a certain way.
