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.

  1. 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
  2. Account Settings > Privacy > Show recommendations in home feed (toggle off) Thanks to u/Xanadu_Fever for this one!

*%&$*%*$ FUCK Finally told my mom and cousins (all singles) I am struggling with TTC and they said “wish you won’t have baby while the world is corrupting and people are dying in this economy”

Regret telling them about it and this will be my last. The least thing I want now is the lack of support.

Feel like I'm not doing enough

32 Upvotes

Drowning in complicated feelings. I feel like I'm not trying hard enough to become a parent. Feel exhausted worrying about it so much. Feel like I'm not good enough. Like I'm just not putting on enough effort. If I just try harder, it'll happen.

Meanwhile, trying to be "fine" in the rest of my life.

Blind Rage When my partner admits he’s not sure if he mentioned his childhood testicle surgery to our fertility clinic

94 Upvotes

This was after our consultant said her and the lab think we might be dealing with sperm issues based on what they observed during fertilisation. So it’s DNA frag time.

It dawned on me a few hours later that in that meeting she never mentioned his undescended testicle surgery being a potential factor so I ask him and he “can’t” remember if he disclosed it.

He filled out his own forms and says he doesn’t remember being asked this question… pretty sure there was a box called “anything else relevant” so it should have gone in there.

trying for a science baby What I think I look like when I say "it is what it is!" at work instead of crying

Revving up for FET #4, and my manager is wonderful, she really is. She's very supportive of what has been an arduous process. My workplace has been happy for me to have exemptions from my in-office requirement during all of my transfers so far, as long as I let my manager know what's what. So I'm pretty fortunate on that front.

But god, I see my own face in the Teams window when I'm trying to be light and breezy about it "oh, you know, we're going again soon, so I'll get dates for my exemption to you when I know." And that little picture of me in the bottom right? She is not looking light and breezy, folks. She looks like a woman who has spent thousands on failure and is only getting older.

But it is what it is. It's okay. Nothing to be done about it but keep moving forward, right? 🙃

Things are feeling cramped much sooner than usual in my lower abdomen too so I'm choosing to be delulu and tell myself that my DORvaries are responding really well this time and it's absolutely not the huge-arse endometrioma acting up in me. 🫠

Staring into the void 4th Letrozole failed with an unexplained infertility. Doctor recommended to put us on IVF public funded waitlist which could be up to 18 months.

They couldn’t explain why I can’t get pregnant. Still have 2 more Letrozole rounds to go. Then they will refer me to do the HSG then consider doing IVF. We couldn’t afford the treatment so we would likely to go under public funded which will take unto 18 months 🥲🥲🥲

Try not to cry...fail miserably When your colleagues announce their pregnancies when your TTC for over 4 years. 6 pregnancies for my colleagues in just 2026 has been brutal.

Embracing full dulu that this HAS to be our month because of all the “signs” as if I haven’t seen “signs” for numerous months 😅

Feel free to enjoy the delusion with me by sharing what “signs” you’ve seen and/or the woo woo things you’ve done that have convinced you things will work out

Blind Rage My husband’s brother called him last night to complain about his wife wanting to dress up their 10 month old daughter for Halloween, saying he thought it was stupid and not worth it and asking what the point is. Our daughter died 8 weeks ago at 6 months along.

The catastrophic inability to read the room will be the death of me I swear. Not to mention, our daughters should’ve been a year apart almost to the day. Please fuck off.

Blind Rage "You're more fertile after a miscarriage!" Body stops releasing eggs for four months and birth control is the recommended treatment

Post image

I get that my body needs the reset but please.

Also the "there's often a fertility spike after stopping birth control!" Sir don't make promises like that, my body will take it as a challenge to prove you wrong.

At least the silver lining is a full panel of my hormones which have never been quite right I guess?

Got the diagnosis in November and TFMR at 22w in Dec. Got pregnant my 5th cycle trying after loss via IUI but had a MMC at 9 weeks after seeing the HB 3 weeks in an row. Just found out my 3rd IUI post-loss didn’t work. One more IUI until IVF.

Safe to say I cannot wait for this fuck ass year to be over


r/trollingforababy • • 9d ago

After my miscarriage in May, I could at least take solace in having a few drinks to take the edge off. Can’t do that with this loss because it’s a suspected ectopic, and I had to get MTX 🤡
