Today, I found out that I'm not actually pregnant. I've apparently been having a hysterical pregnancy because I want a child so badly. I don't know which was worse, the look of relief on my husband's face or having to send a mass email to inform my family and friends. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 found out my husband is having a baby. Too bad I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, my doctor told me I'm pregnant. Since we've been trying for several years, I called my husband to tell him the good news. Not long after, my doctor called to inform me there'd been a clerical mix-up and I'm not actually pregnant after all. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, because I've been having stomach pains and nausea for weeks. He ended up gravely telling me I'm pregnant. I freaked out and panicked about what my parents would say. Then his laughter reminded me that I'm a guy. A really stupid one. FML
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not 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
Today, I had the abortion my husband and I agreed on, after multiple forms of birth control failed. His family somehow found out, and now they're all mad at us for not telling them I was ever pregnant, with a child we never wanted, and took precautions to avoid creating. FML
Today, I was at the doctors office after throwing up for the past week. My diagnosis? Apparently I'm the first pregnant man. After several minutes of me freaking out and him explaining how it was possible, he told me he was joking and that I'm fine, but my reaction was the best thus far. 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Aww, that really sucks... I remember having to tell everyone there wasn't a baby (but in my case it was a miscarriage). Have you guys tried a fertility clinic? Also, hysterical pregnancy doesn't mean she's a nutjob. She really wants a baby (and some women who don't experience it, as well) so it's not really weird for her to experience this, if she was hoping for it.

@ #1, I agree. OP, why the heck would you have already told family and friends that you're expecting if you clearly hadn't gotten a test done? Most people wait a few months before saying anything. Also, if you're husband is relieved that you are not pregnant, that should tell you he's not ready to have kids. Which you shouldn't ignore! There is more to life than having kids. Find a hobby, because your fixation with having a baby is just unhealthy.

wow, reading these comments make me so sick for the immature, ignorant and self-engrossed people out there. you are all horrible examples of human beings. hopefully karma will come 'round to show you how to be respectful to people, rather than just "troll" or what the hell ever it is you do to make yourself feel better for your failed life. misery loves company, sure, but why bring down someone who is actually really and truely going through a tough time? FYL, OP. but here's to hoping for a bundle of joy in the future. (:

Thank you. Some of these people are horrible. Bashing her for this. She didn't ask to have a hysterical pregnancy. =/

People troll and that's a fact. Haven't you ever heard of the famous internet equation? Normal person + Anonymity + audience = Total dickwad. Just cuz these people are mean online doesn't mean they aren't normal people in real life. I do agree they can be harsh, but that's the risk you take when you post something online. When this woman posted this FML, she had to assume she was gonna get some negative responses back.

YDI for telling everyone you were pregnant before you actually got tested by a doctor. Plus even then, people tend to wait a month or two before spreading the news. Also YDI for not talking about whether you guys wanted children before you got married. His reaction should not have been a surprise.

Because people never change their minds, right? One of my friends said they never wanted kids, but then they changed their mind after meeting someone...

EDIT: Time ran out. -.- And about the doctor thing, a "hysterical pregnancy" changes the hormones, so even a doctor's blood/urine test would come up positive... The only thing that would tell is an ultrasound, which usually doesn't come up, as someone said earlier, until about 18-19 weeks.

Why tell them the truth? Just announce that you "lost the baby" and collect on the sympathy. They don't have to know that the baby was only in your delusional mind, and that you only "lost" it when you were given a dose of reality.

You people are very rude to saying YDI. She could have told them after months of thinking she was pregnant. No one deserves this. As far as her husband, I would have be a little upset also because if he knew he wasn't ready for a child, than he is old enough to know to use protection and possibly let her think he was ready. I don't know what happened but I do know no one deserves this and it certainly is not their fault.

Regarding her and her husband and the fact that maybe he didn't want a child, Well If he didn't want a child he should of took the necessary actions to Prevent her from getting pregnant. He probably was unhappy with the fact that she was pregnant at first, But if she was honestly pregnant and went full term he probably would actually been Grateful. If your not nervous even the slightest then you wouldn't be human.

Good to see your husband is happy you aren't pregnant. Stop being in such a hurry to ruin your life.

This is the saddest FML ever? Not ones about people dying or people's hearts being broken by cheating assholes? The story about a woman who thought she was pregnant, and wasn't, is the saddest FML ever? How bout she has the kid and it dies in child birth. That's a sad story. But thinking something then it not be true isn't depressing. It sucks for the OP, but it is faaaaar from the saddest thing I've ever heard.
