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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I went into a gynecology appointment to find out my IUD had apparently fallen out without me knowing. What tipped me off? My pregnancy test. 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, I had emergency surgery to remove my fallopian tubes. I'm one of the 0.5% of people who get pregnant after having their tubes tied. FML
Today, I found out I'm three weeks pregnant with a guy I've been dating for a month. I'm on the pill and we even used a condom. This baby must be some kind of superhuman. 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 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 went to the health department to get on some birth control. I left the health department without birth control, and with the news that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I went in to the doctor's thinking I had a bladder infection. I walked out knowing I'm pregnant. 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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Okay well stupid question and totally random but this comment is already stupid so it fits, can OP actually comment on this? i've never seen it happen before so just wondering.
MsConfusedd 27
It was a stupid question, but yes, OP can comment. And it has happened, but rarely.

Plan B only works, what... like, the DAY AFTER you had sex? :/
bmkc4 1
Yeah, Plan B won't work if you are already pregnant. It doesn't terminate a pregnancy.
bmkc4 1
Ah, got ya. I read it too quick and thought you were telling her to take Plan B

Also, plan B is closer to 70-80 bucks.

Plan B is not nearly as effective as other birth controls. I got pregnant while on the pill and after taking the Plan B only 12 hours later.

Plan B works for up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse......and in California there is a state funded program that if women qualify for it it's free
MBrabs1996 22
Where do you live that plan B is 70-80 bucks? Where I live its 20.

You may see it as bad luck now, but one day you'll say how it was the best thing to ever happen. If you don't absolutely hate kids that is.
downtime 13
Or...seeing it as the best thing to ever happen at the worst possible time. People usually want kids at a certain time and having them early is not the best thing to happen. The best thing to happen would be if she had the kids later, and we don't even know how old she is from this. She may love this kid more than anything just because it was born, that doesn't change the fact she would love any other child she has just as much.

Always use a condom just in case. And/or go on the pill. And congratulations :D

Do u not know what an Iud is? It is birth control dimwit. You can't take both.
MsConfusedd 27
53, believe it or not, I do know what an IUD is. Do you know what a condom is? You can use condom even with an IUD,thank you. Don't call names if you don't even know what you're talking about.

"And/or go on the pill" a IUD is more effective than "the pill" and a lot of women, myself included, use methods like the pill or an IUD so that they don't have to bother with barrier methods like condoms which take pleasure and spontaneity away from sex.
MsConfusedd 27
Yes, I understand the reasons behind an IUD. However, if you want to lessen your chances of getting pregnant even more, you can use other forms of birth control as well.

71- I was with you up until the "condoms which take pleasure and spontaneity away from sex." If condoms are that much of a burden to you or your partner, you're doing it wrong.
constipatedlady 0
Haha nice, "that much" no, but, stopping to put on the condom brings to mind awful things like pregancy. Pregnancy is definitely a turn off.
stfuNOWplease 6
So is constipation. Using a condom is just backing up the iud... You know, preventing getting pregnant, or even worse, an STD!!! Anyway, my kid was unplanned but the best thing to happen in my life.

If a 30 second commercial break to grab and put on a condom doesn't have a noticable effect on the spontaneous or romantic feeling, I pity your love life.
constipatedlady 0
STDs? That's even better, "Hey, let's take 30 seconds to remind each other that you're not to be trusted." Condoms are fantastic for teenagers and those in casual relationships but, if you marry or commit? Not so much.

Aw, that sucks. :/

No, I think it's on FML because this is where people put stories bragging about how fortunate their lives are.

No contraception is 100% effective, OP. Everyone is notified of the fact, if you weren't then your medical care provider is an ass! Lol But seriously, having one of those in and being pregnant can be dangerous to your health. : / I hope everything works out ok. Xx
