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?

I'm getting real sick and tired of these "adopt" comments. She doesnt want to adopt right now, its her money, her decision, adoption is probably her last resort. "oh but you'll save a child from shitty foster care/ adoption is cheaper/ stop spending 90k/ there are millions blah blah blah" crap. she does not deserve it. With someone with some sense back me up.

Yeah if she wants to it is her decision. But when you're making selfish decisions you don't get to bitch and moan when they dont work. Not to mention its rude and self centered to begrudge her friend for having a child she can't. Which just goes back to shoe her underlying selfish attitude. Hence the ydi and comments about adoption.

If you have all this money to spend then why not adopt? There are alot of children in need of a good loving home and family.

90K? Wow....I live in Quebec, where we get 3 completely free tries at IVF if you're infertile. Since I'm a woman who can't have kids, I guess I really live in the right place for treatments!

how about you go eff yourself for condoning the OPs selfish behavior~?

There are a lot of kids who need adopting. Try spending a fraction of that 90K to get a kid who's already born. Yes, your perfect genes won't be passed on, but live with it.

It's not necessarily about having your own "perfect" genes...many people need to do IVF with donated sperm / eggs. I think what's important for most IVF patients is going through the pregnancy and birth!

You should try spending time around your baby nephews/nieces/cousins, most of the time it's mental. This happened to someone I know.

over 5000 people support the OPs selfish behavior. over 5000 people haven't considered the effects this might have on the OPs friend, who doesn't even like children but has found herself with one (or more?) on the way. ...i don't want to live on this planet anymore ._.
THE_A_TEEN 28
Most abortions (execpt those rape victim abortions) are selfish. What the op is doing is not. dont like it, hitch a ride with the russians to space.
DaimonxWitch 4
did i say anything bout abortion? what she's doing is selfish. yes, it's her choice. but that doesn't make it any less selfish? no.

#388 Why should anyone worry about OP's friend? If she didn't want to have children, why didn't she prevent it from happening? I'm not saying birth control or condoms, if she absolutely hated children, she would have had her tubes tied or had her significant other get a vasectomy. If she didn't do that then it's her own fault. I suspect that she only said she hated children because she doesn't care for them too much. But if she had one, then she'd have a kid. No one should show sympathy for her because she didn't take the steps to prevent something she didn't like.

you don't know that she didn't take steps to prevent getting pregnant. contraceptives fail, shit happens. hell- even getting your tubes tied fails once in awhile. not to mention that the majority of dr.s won't tie a womans tubes unless she's older or already has a child- so she might have tried to have her tubes tied, and was refused. her significant other might not WANT to get a vasectomy, and she doesn't have the right to force him to have one just because SHE doesn't want kids. an unplanned pregnancy is much more dreadful than infertility. if your infertile, you can adopt or attempt fertilty treatments- there is no easy way out of an unplanned pregnancy.
