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?

did adoption never cross your mind? you could have adopted a child for a fraction of the money you've spent on fertility treatments. or are orphans just not good enough for you? ydi for not adopting.

the op deserves her child hating friend getting pregnant but not her just because she doesnt want to adopt? Don't judge other peoples decisions because of other avaliable alternatives tard, if she want's her own, she want's her own, plus the fml doesnt say she's to good for orphans, grow up

And she deserves it because she is trying to follow one of the most natural instincts that a woman has? adoption is great and all but honestly if she wants her own then I don't think anything can justify saying she deserves to be unable to conceive. You are insensitive and uninformed and leave me feeling a little sick.

While I think adopting would be a good choice, I would never presume to judge her because she hasn't. She may have her own reasons for why she hasn't adopted, and it's still sad that she's infertile, so shut your fat lips.

I too suffer from infertility! And would definitely spend that and more just to have a child. You have no clue what's it's like and the lengths that we'd go to just have one child.

Wow, that really sucks. Good Luck on your journey. And omg to all the people telling the OP to adopt.... yeah adoption not that simple! Can take longer to adopt a child than it does to actually get pregnant and give birth!

Pretty sure the idiot above that said "some people are not meant to procreate" has quite the theory. It's funny you say that because I know idiotic teenage morons who snort coke in front of their baby, let alone drop their unwanted burden on their poor parents. Hmm..were they MEANT to procreate? Please, I would love to hear your theory on that one, you dumbass. All in all, all I see anymore are the biggest losers and the worst people that would be the worst parents ARE parents while people who would do anything for their child or stay home with their child everynight have trouble. It's a ****** up world we live in with a ****** up system and ****** up morals.

145- if you actually know people who do coke near an infant you need to call child protective services

She probably wouldn't care, too busy lighting up "jays" and turning up bob marley.

First off, learn to use the reply button, stupid. That way I could have read your ridiculous ranting response to my comment more easily. I thoroughly enjoyed your comment, especially the parts where you call me idiot and dumbass. Yes, some people aren't meant to have kids. Who? THE ONES WHO CAN'T HAVE KIDS, you imbecile. I'm not making judgements about them, simply stating a fact that some people can't have children even if they would be great parents. Before you go spouting off such verbal diarrhea, try reading things thoroughly first. You'll look far less foolish.
