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!

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

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 a negative test after that as well. I’ll be on CD1 on baby loss awareness day tomorrow, over two years and two losses in. Somehow I really got my hopes up this time. Fuck this.

Was really hoping that they would be able to remove a fibroid while I was under, but it turns out they weren't able to 🥲 So much for my fantasy that they could clip that sucker out and we could conceive without IVF

Staring into the void Me reflecting on the last 12 months of my life

122 Upvotes

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 • • 2d 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 🤡

Trying to be nice and call my grandma back to have some conversation with her. Randomly at the end, she goes, "I know I'm being nosy, but are you able to have kids??" and I said, "I don't know, why do you ask?" and she goes, "Oh I mean I just got pregnant so easily so I was just curious!" Thankfully the universe stepped in and the call dropped right then and there. Ugggggghhhhhh 😩 someone put me out of my misery please 😂

When you have to wait to wait

60 Upvotes

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

Apparently appendicitis causes ectopics

Post image
80 Upvotes

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.
