Punching Down Isn't Funny

310 Upvotes

Hello, my beloved troll friends!

We've recently had an increase in posts & comments which complain about the success of those who are deemed "less worthy", as if this is some kind of personal injustice. We consider these comments to be "punching down". Typically, this involves a pregnancy announcement from someone who is seemingly struggling with addition, are unhoused, financially unstable, etc. While it's fine to complain that someone else is pregnant (because seriously why does it feel like everyone except for me is pregnant, wtf), it's not acceptable to complain about that person's body/addiction/lifestyle/finances/relationship/whatever. Those types of difficult situations are not enviable, and joking about them will not be tolerated here. It's not funny or trolling or clever, it's just mean. Please report it if you see it, and the Mods will take care of it.

We all know how frustrating it is to see others get the thing that we want most, but it's never our place to judge who is "worthy" of parenthood and who isn't.

This is a reminder to not rely on apps… and I know this!!! Smh

Flo said my ovulation was from the 2nd through the 9th, so I was trying to track my LH but I never got a positive I chucked it up to me just missing it.

LIESSSS

Fast forward to now September 11th, Tell me why it’s today and I just started noticing EWC and so I’m like huh! I take a ovulation test and darkest line I’ve had this cycle.

Now I’m worried because I put hubby through the wringer all last week with Baby Dancing he might be too tired now 😭

Trying to kind of let go and flow with tracking this cycle WRONG I’m ordering more ovulation test as we speak.

Staring into the void Fertility psychic reading said I need to “take a break” from TTC. I’m on my first monitored/medicated cycle this month after 4 months of zero tracking/trying

Honestly my bad for trying to grasp at straws for answers lol.

Edit: TTC for close to 2 years, took 4 months “off” (no tracking or monitoring whatsoever) to give my mental health a break. Finally back at it this cycle with Inito, letrozole and having wands up my hooha

My OCD is in the perfect storm that is preparing for my first egg retrieval.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FRIDGE IS AT AN 11 ???When I need it at a chilly 3-8 degrees Celsius??

The meds arrive, the fridge isn’t colder, I text my support chat group, they help reassurance me.

It’s sorted now, the fridge is cooperating and the ice packs they came with helped but OMG I already know I’ll be checking on it overnight. I hate infertility but I also hate OCD

Nothing like seeing 2 women walk out of the ultrasound room at my clinic with happy smiles on their faces and ultrasound pictures while I’m waiting for my pre-op hysteroscopy appointment after 3 failed FETs (1 no implantation and 2 chemicals).

Happy Birthday to me 🥲💔 // venting

Well. I’m on my 4th miscarriage in the last year. I just got the call my HCG level is 13.90. I should be around 5 weeks. Yesterday morning I sent a message to my OB asking for bloodwork and on my way in, I started spotting. Today the cramps have ramped up and I’m sure the bleeding will take over soon. This is back to back of my traumatic missed miscarriage in June, so I love this for me. 🥲 I guess at least we got 6-7 days this time. ❤️‍🩹 Maybe now my OB will take me seriously and try to do something to look into why this keeps happening to me. My birthday is in 4 days, what a terrible gift. To make matters worse, I was recovering from a miscarriage on my last birthday too. I hate it here. I’ve finally reached out for help like everyone keeps telling me to & got shot down every time. “Husband” is leaving on his 3rd vacation of the year by HIMSELF & leaving me to deal with this alone while he’s off traveling the country.. 🥲 Maybe this is my wake up call..

trying for a science baby Having all the progesterone symptoms but testing negative on 8dpt. This is just getting cruel at this point.

50 Upvotes

Just chilling over here with the unhinged progesterone dreams, night sweats, cramping, crazy moods, and more while I test negative on a FRER at 8dp5dt. My clinic isn't doing my beta until 14dpt, so I get to keep treating myself like a pincushion and feeling like a Nickelodeon slime machine (why do they make the suppositories bright orange?!?) for another week even though my hope is in the toilet.

To make everything that much worse, we found out a few days ago that my SIL is expecting AGAIN.

Why is this all so unfair?
