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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 am so sorry. Keep trying. My son was after 2 years of trying and 2 miscarriages. It can happen.

Keep going...or adopt maybe...

You should seriously consider adoption or surrogacy. You're making yourself miserable and denying yourself the joys of life by only focusing on the parts you can't have. You can make a tremendous difference in a child's life and have a lot of love to give.

That's terrible. But as many others have said, do keep trying. I have a cousin who has tried for almost seven years to get pregnant. She finally gave up a year ago and just today found out she is pregnant with twins. Here's hoping!

Why, oh why? Why would anyone vote YDI for this. That is really sad OP. I sincerely hope you do get pregnant and have a baby. Good luck!

You should consider raising a pet instead. You could buy or adopt an animal like a cat or dog from the animal pound or rescue shelter or buy a puppy or a kitten from a private breeder. You could also obtain some goldfish from the store or keep a small pet like a rabbit or hamster

You have obviously never struggled with infertility. Shut your mouth.

And I thought the person who told them to stop trying and adopt was heartless.

Okay, as someone who is childfree (don't have or want human childen) I find your comment heartless. While having two cats and a dog is completely fulfilling for a person like me, the same is not true for others. My heart goes out to the OP. I can't imagine trying unsuccessfully for a baby for years and someone just saying get a dog or cat or hamster. It's a child for me but for others it can't compare.
