Today, my child-hating friend who vowed never to have any no matter what, announced that she's pregnant. I've had three IVF cycles, spent $90k in fertility treatments, and still can't conceive. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years. I’ve gone through numerous expensive fertility treatments with no success. A former friend of mine owes me almost $2K. I’ve asked for the money back numerous times so that I can use it to pay for another round of IVF. She won’t pay. She just announced that she's pregnant.. FML
Today, I was told that I will never be able to have children. Thankfully for my husband, his girlfriend sure can. FML
Today, my close friend who’s always been incredibly vocal about how much she hates children, never wants to be around them or have anything to do with them, stopped speaking to me. She’s incredibly "hurt" that I asked another friend to be my unborn child's godmother instead of her. FML
Today, my friend told me she wanted to get pregnant. I thought that was good news, but then she said she wanted my boyfriend to be the father of her baby. FML
Today, after years of trying, my husband and I did IVF, fertilized 5 eggs, and the whole process was really rough. Now, a year after giving birth to our daughter, my husband wants to use another egg, but I don’t want to go through that all again. FML
Today, my mother-in-law said: "People who don't have kids are children of the devil." I'm infertile, she knows this. FML
Today, we have three kids. Two were "natural" and our third was through expensive IVF. Of all three kids, only our IVF son turned out to be a real asshole. Now he’s going to jail for armed robbery and pushing a pregnant woman to the floor. Wish we’d saved that IVF money and paid off the mortgage. FML
Today, we recently found out I'm infertile, and I thought we were both devastated, until my partner posted a drunk video to Facebook, basically celebrating that we will never have, "crying, nappy-shitting, soul-sucking, bank account-draining little sods." FML
Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, after four years of infertility, my wife and I found out our miracle pregnancy was going to be a boy; our first child. Twenty minutes later, we found out our child has a terminal genetic condition, and will die in the next 4 weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

116 it depends on where you adopt from. My brother and I were both adopted, he was about $7000 (closed in state adoption) and I on the other hand was $40k (out of state open adoption)

That's how it is! Those that want can't and those that don't deserve get it

People that want the love and happiness that children bring are willing to spend that type of money. It's worth it. Children are there for a lifetime & will be with you until you die to provide unconditional love.

Did she announce it on facebook? Because in that case, I would seriously doubt she's really pregnant. It's probably one of those status things that don't really do anything, the latest one is just weird.

I cant believe how heartless people can actually be. I just found out I may not be able to conceive and I'm only 18. that womanly right has been yanked away from us.

Its not a right though, when you take into account all the things that have to be correct to have a kid its a wonder anyone concieves. Take heart though, I have PCOS and with that it is unlikely that you are able to concieve but I concieved very quickly. A lot of times its just a case of not knowing for definate until you try.

I work at a Spa and we just hired a woman who does fertility massages... Maybe you should try that!!

that's why you don't wait until your thirties to start having children. peak fertility for women is 19 to 23 years old.

No. You wait until your are emotionally and financially ready to have them and hopefully with a committed partner and not a one night stand from a pub.

What idiot spends $90,000 on operations to have a baby.Adopting is alot cheaper

Ur dick! Really I'm sure ur not a parent! Kids are a blessing and being a mom is the best feeling in the world. Adopting will not give you the satisfaction that carrying ur own child that was in ur womb for 9 months would give you.

You could always adopt some baby that needs a good life. Just sayin'.
