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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is an FML, but you sound like such a hater. Why'd you even bring your friend into this post?

428 - OP brought her up because the FML is about how she wants kids but is having such a hard time getting pregnant and spent so much trying while her friend who doesn't like kids got pregnant so easily.

You think thats horrible, do some archive binging on this site, i'll give you some info on some stuff I saw... fml about michael jackson dying: rude inconsiderate comments about mj Fml about some jack hole putting a hide and seek winners on a missing child board in wal-mart: commentators congradulating the guy, someone even blamed the children for going missing. fml involving the lgbt: homophobes fml about the op walking 8 miles with 4 blisters for 50$ only for the dad to lie about it: the commentators called the op lazy pussy etc. while "bragging" about how they could do it in (enter time) fml where the op doesnt deserve it: YDI'S fml (forgot about what it was) where the op made some grammical errors:YDI FOR GRAMMER ERROR fml involving gingers: no souls (funny) rude comments (not funny) descrimination (not funny) this fml: ADOPT that is all. Trust me, people are assholes.

Sorry to hear!!! Have u considered adopting. There are so many kids from people like her that need people like you. Best of luck to you.

Ok, guys, adoption does take a long time. But unless you adopt from an agency or out of country, it's not going to cost you thousands of dollars. If you adopt from the American foster system(and are currently an American system), you may actually GET money MONTHLY for being awesome and taking in the poor kid(usually happens for special needs or minority kids). It does take a while, but so does pregnancy. 9 months--maybe a year if the baby comes late, maybe less if he/she's early. And giving birth is an incredible experience, but so is adopting. Their just incredible in different ways. And everybody is allowed to adopt, usually, if you live in the right place. Agencies are much tighter on who can and who can't, though(for example, some single parents can't adopt from certain agencies). Just don't adopt internationally and don't adopt from an agency and it really won't cost much. If you can, adopt in-state if you really want to save more money. Just my 2 cents.

Poster, you're ridiculous. Why not spend some of that money adopting a child who desperately wants a parent? Honestly. If you can't conceive, then share your life with a child without parents who is looking for someone to love them.

Well, Apparently Nature Decide that it didn't want you to breed But, I guess that sucks for you though. :(

Its natural to feel envious and bitter. however, it is a good thing that your anti child friend has you to support her though her pregnancy and in raising her child. Channel your energy to help your friend -- maybe in doing so, you will find the strength you need to continue pursuing conception. On the other hand, as others have said, adoption may be a more realistic option for you at this point.
