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!

It may seem like bad luck now, but you'll feel very different about it when your baby is born. I think out society views pregnancy all wrong. Even in the worst of times, it's a beautiful thing. You've created life.

Aren't you supposed to get them replaced like... every 2 years or something?

One type(with hormones) you get it replaced after 5 years and the copper one (without hormones) you get replaced after 10 years

Use a metal coat hanger and rip the fetus out if you don't want the baby.

Women will use all sorts of things if a pregnancy is unwanted and abortion is not available. Good thing it is, eh?

I feel for you OP. 7 years ago I had my tubes tied. The following year I got to be in your situation. .02% chance of pregnancy, and I had to be that .02 I ended up in a hospital one night, undergoing emergency surgery and blood transfusions because my pregnancy ended up nearly killing me. thanks to an inept ultrasound tech who assured me that everything was ok. I wish you the best of luck, no matter your decision, and urge you to keep close contact with your doctor for your own safety.

When I read this (being a female) I thought you might have a problem with your pregnancy with that IUD being in your cervix... With your cervix sealing with the mucus membrain. (yes, guys i know that sounds gross, but its what happens) Hope you went to the Doctor already. If not you better get into one fast. Ok there's my 2 cents for the day.

Pogue36 they need to take that diploma away in your pic and you need more schooling. IMO you're an idiot. Yes my comment was harsh.

You also need to remember that not all people can have kids so still feel special that you can have this bundle of joy!

Well, how's this?: My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a few months with no luck at all. In fact, my stupid body won't even ovulate, haven't had a period in 42 days. I'm not complaining at you, just stating how annoying life is! People who don't want babies get pregnant and those who want it don't. :/

To prevent conception use protection

An IUD is protection, silly!
