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?

I feel for you. I'm on month 11 on trying to and all of my labs and my husband's are normal. I am having to resort to an HSG and dx lap before they will even try clomid.

idea: adopt one of the kids rotting in the shit foster system.

350, Better idea: let's take into account the fact that spending 90 thousand dollars, the time consuming process of IVF, and personal preference have already made her decide a foster child isn't quite what she's looking for.

How about being happy for your friend? Ever thought of that? Maybe she changed her mind. That tends to happen to people as they mature. Some people are not meant to procreate. I feel bad that you may be one of them, but don't take the joy out of your friend's success.

well said, unfortuately not all of us are meant to be parents but everyone sees it as their right to have a kid. I actually blame IVF for making the lives of those who are infertile so much harder, they know there is an option and will do all the can just for a one in a million shot at having a kid. It also seems to be the case that those that truely want kids are usually those that struggle. Op your life may be a lot more fufilling and a lot better if you stop trying and try another route. I know the birth is a big deal but it seems like you are just stressing yourself out.

So... When she gives birth, you could adopt the baby! Win-win, no?

Lol? You find this situation funny? Some people are so desperate to have a child that they will go to any length to make it happen. Get a clue, moron.

$90,000? For that you could have flown to one of those Angelina Jolie countries and come home with a couple of kids.
