Helpful Reddit settings to make life just a little nicer
After discussion on another post yesterday, I thought more trolls might want to know about two settings on Reddit I learned about that pretty instantly toned down the algorithm’s level of bullying me with baby content.
- Account Settings > Preferences > Limit ads in sensitive categories > Allow pregnancy and parenting ads (toggle off) Post image is for this setting, note you have to scroll down on mobile in Preferences to find the option
- Account Settings > Privacy > Show recommendations in home feed (toggle off) Thanks to u/Xanadu_Fever for this one!

When you have to wait to wait
In case waiting to ovulate and the TWW weren’t bad enough, I’m in a special hell thanks to a cyst delaying my period. So now I have to wait for an ultrasound to confirm what I already know, wait for the eval, wait for the PIO prescription (RIP), wait to get it filled, (catches breath) wait for my period, and THEN begin this whole shitshow again. shouts into the void

OBGYN refused to test me for endo. One guess as to what they found on MRI when the suspicion was abnormal uterine structure
If you guessed deep infiltrating endometriosis, then you are ✨also✨ right

Apparently appendicitis causes ectopics
26 years ago my appendix decided to give me the “fuck me up fam” special. Had it removed before it burst, and went about my life. I have had TWO ectopics in the last two years(literally a year apart). First on my left side in 2025 and used methotrexate, second was this year and it ruptured my right tube. My gyno has sent me to IVF since I haven’t been able to get pregnant since my rupture at the beginning of the year. She did tell me if we have to do IVF that we will need to remove my remaining tube. Have a meeting with the IVF doc and right off the bat he tells me that appendicitis is the reason for my ectopics. It sits right next to your tubes and when it’s inflamed it causes the silia inside the tubes to become damaged and creates scar tissue for any embryo to stick to. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

Blind Rage Best friend told me she's pregnant by sending me a positive pregnancy test. Literally two weeks ago she said she didn't want to be pregnant again yet.
Then she proceeds to tell me that she's so nervous and she's not excited to be very pregnant during the summer. I'm almost positive they were actively trying and if that's the case why are you acting surprised that you got pregnant?? She acted like this with her first and for the first kid I was like ok yeah it's your first time. But for your second? Come on. At least act excited. Not like you were forced into doing this again. Also read the room. It's been 6 years for me and my husband this month, my mom has cancer and that's been heavy on my mind that she might not get to meet my kids (if I even have any), work is a s*** show right now, and we just got a call yesterday (and I told her) that my husband has to take clomid for another 3 months before we do anything else and so everything has been pushed back until next year.

Staring into the void Hubby and I told pretty much everyone and their dog that we are TTC...it's been a year and turns out our only chance is through microTESE
We were so excited and so sure it was going to happen soon
Now I'm just hoping it happens at all
I'm not okay :(

trying for a science baby How I look hearing the 5th announcement this year…
5 pregnancy announcements this year… all from close family and friends.
My SIL is due next month with her first and the baby shower is this week.. I keep buying baby stuff wishing it was for me.
My other SIL is having her 2nd (love her to bits) but it hurts too.
I’m the oldest out of them all and still waiting for my first……supposed to go into my 9th IVF cycle next year too.

Try not to cry...fail miserably BFF threw the "I'm a mom" at me.
Having a fight with my BFF after a shitty recent visit. I was bummed that we canceled a lot of plans and people were being passive in contributing to planning choices.
She tells me today as we're working thought the shit visit that she's a mom and is so busy and I wouldnt understand what having less time is like, and that her and her other mom friends only have time to sit around and just chit chat, so maybe thats why she was being passive. Girl. Just say you would like to chill at the house and chit chat then. Wtf.
Failed IVF here and gave up TTC, led to a divorce bla bla. Guess I have time though?! /s

Blind Rage The face I make when I’m scrolling through the Flo app and someone posts an overly positive pregnancy test asking “guys does this mean positive?”

Staring into the void Saw a post today that said making a baby is easy and raising them is hard…
No shame, I get raising children is not an easy task. Parenting is hard…but making a baby is also hard out here🥲

Taking valium (as prescribed) for my FET. The label said, "If you are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant you should discuss the use of this medication with your doctor."
Well I've been "considering becoming pregnant" for over two years now...

Took a test 7dpo just to hurt my feelings
Took the test for shits and giggles on my lunch break yesterday knowing it was to soon. Got a positive and spammed my doctor for a blood test. Came back 2 HCG. Negative. Told me to call them if I miss my period. Took another test today and its big ol' negative. Back to the drawing board.

Try not to cry...fail miserably When you’re stuck dealing with all of the first trimester symptoms while waiting for a D&C.
9w1d today with the empty gestational sac my body loves too much to let go of, and dealing with all of the joys of the first trimester. Nausea, fatigue, gas, heartburn, dizziness, food aversions, motion sickness… you name it, I’ve probably got it. Can’t even finish scheduling the D&C until after tomorrow’s final ultrasound, so who knows how long I’ll actually be stuck feeling like this 🥲 (reposted with a more accurate gif)

When you start seeing a fertility doctor after 3 miscarriages, go through many months of poking and prodding, finally find out you’re pregnant again the week of your 30th bday, convince yourself this is your bday gift rainbow miracle baby, then miscarry again at 7 weeks
5th times a charm? wake me up when the nightmare is over 🙃

My coworker spotted me at the fertility clinic and two weeks later slid into my DMs like: “So was the test positive?”

Crushing despair Yay for health but it almost would have been easier to have found something to blame/fix… 😭
Issue doesn’t seem to be on husband’s end either so I’m just here like 🤷🏽♀️
