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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

I was conceived that way. Fun to share the womb with a piece of metal. I definitely know I was not a planned child

FYI 124, when your mom used them (or 20 some-odd years ago, whichever was sooner) they were metal. ........Derp derp.

#124, there is a plastic IUD with hormones and a copper IUD without hormones available in the US. There is another type of metal one available in some other countries as well.

I realize you had the IUD put in to prevent pregnancy, but kids are a blessing. Your child is special and there is some wonderful reason you conceived him/her.

That's harsh. I hope you make the right decision for yourself (whether its keeping it, adoption, or abortion) and have a strong support system. Good luck!

Well get that IUD taken out straight away (if you are keeping it). That thing can seriously harm your child.

Ohh I feel you there OP. I was not very happy when the doctor told me the news. =[

I agree fyl, not for the 1% thing, but for the danger part. Being pregnant with an iud in place is EXTREMELY dangerous. You could have an ectopic pregnancy, pelvic infection, have a miscarriage or go into labor early. If the iud was only "for now" and you wanted kids someday (iuds only last 10 years max) it could be even worse. The damage this pregnancy could inflict can prevent you from ever having children. If you plan to keep the baby (or even if you don't) I suggest you see your doctor immediately.

Have you not heard of an abortion? Seriously now, use your brain.
