Today, my doctor told me I'm pregnant. Since we've been trying for several years, I called my husband to tell him the good news. Not long after, my doctor called to inform me there'd been a clerical mix-up and I'm not actually pregnant after all. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not actually pregnant. I've apparently been having a hysterical pregnancy because I want a child so badly. I don't know which was worse, the look of relief on my husband's face or having to send a mass email to inform my family and friends. FML
Today, I found out my husband is having a baby. Too bad I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, because I've been having stomach pains and nausea for weeks. He ended up gravely telling me I'm pregnant. I freaked out and panicked about what my parents would say. Then his laughter reminded me that I'm a guy. A really stupid one. FML
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I finally had my doctor's appointment to get my tubes tied. I've been waiting for 2 years. Instead, I found out that my birth control failed and I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my husband rushed me to the hospital, and we were told that I'd had a miscarriage. Neither of us knew I was pregnant. FML
Today, my husband and I did artificial insemination. At the hospital, they mixed up the sperm and didn't realize until it was too late. I'm now pregnant with a stranger's baby. FML
Today, I was at the doctors office after throwing up for the past week. My diagnosis? Apparently I'm the first pregnant man. After several minutes of me freaking out and him explaining how it was possible, he told me he was joking and that I'm fine, but my reaction was the best thus far. FML
Today, after years of trying, I got the wonderful news that my husband is going to be a father. Too bad I’m not the mother. FML

That's unfortunate. One of the few actual FMLs that are really sad. Keep trying!

I'm so, so sorry, OP. I hope you and your husband are successful in the future.

I think it's time to change doctors OP.. I'm sorry you went through that. I hope you get your dreams of being a parent and don't have to go through anything like that again!

You could always adopt. I'm sure you'll find a boy or girl who will adore you :)

Exactly! They have been trying for several years op said, so maybe adoption is the best way to go, plus there are so many kids without parents, so it's a win-win.

Plus, judging by the people I know, as soon as you give up hope and adopt you'll end up pregnant.

It depends. I don't know about where op lives, but I've talked to someone who looked into adoption in America and it can cost a lot of money and you have to jump through hoops to be considered fit to adopt.

So sorry to hear. I've been through it and it sucks. But keep trying! They told me and my husband we'd never get pregnant and we did it twice! Good luck!

so sorry op. don't give up and don't stress. if you and your husband have fun and don't worry about the outcome then it'll happen before you know it. it takes a few years for quite a few couples. it took my husband and I four years to have a beautiful little boy. and it was worth every second. you can also talk to your doctor about fertility treatments. Clomid worked great for my friend. now she has a gorgeous little girl.
