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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

This is why it pisses me off when people say, "Don't have an abortion! Put it up for adoption so someone who can't have babies will look after it!" People who can't have babies don't adopt. They waste thousands upon thousands on fertility treatment and surrogates. YDI OP. 90K? Adopting is expensive but if you hadn't wasted that money trying to splurt out something genetically related to you, you might have been a parent right now.

so you believe in murder? cause that's what abortion really is. killing a precious baby that never had a chance to live? alright then. maybe you should realize that sometimes even though the mom at first plans abortion she switches to adoption and ends up keeping the baby.

It's not a "precious baby". It's a fetus. For the sake of your poor argument, learn your terms.

No I don't believe in murder. I just think it's sad that our society is so self centered that adoption isn't a viable argument against abortion when it could be and should be. But heaven forbid people admit that their genetics are just as crappy as everyone elses.

Oh yes, I believe quite strongly in a woman's right to choose what gets to feed off her body for nine months.

You, are retarded. Her post never said anything about abortion. I think you just said that cause you have guilt over one you had performed but now look down on everyone because of it.

Wow while that's saddly ironic you should have considered adopting. There are so many children with awful lives you could have bettered. I have so many friends who have gone down that route some of whom already have biological children and others who are infertile who realized they'd be wasting money on treatments that might not work when children are going unloved. It's pure selfishness and narcissism to spend that kind of money as if your biology is better than anyone elses. I know all the bleeding heat women out there will likely thumb this down so I have to say I'm also an infertile married woman. I'm just one who sees reality not blind selfish emotion.

310---- yes!! I'm adopted, by two people who could not conceive and thought it selfish, senseless, and wasteful to do fertility treatments. I had a great life. More babies would if more people thought like you (and my parents)

That should've been at the bottom. My bad.

I feel the same way.. I haven't spent money yet like that, but my friends who hate kids are preggers while I've been trying to conceive with mah husband for 2 years. Adoption would be our best bet IMO.
