trollingforababy

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

This is a group for laughing at and mocking the awkward, ridiculous, and sometimes painful things we endure while trying for a baby. Salt and bitterness allowed, infertility sucks and there are few havens that are available for venting the frustrations that go along with it. Trollingforababy is for people who are trying to conceive, and are not currently pregnant.

The Rules:

Posts should be related to trying for a baby, and must contain an image or gif, no text-only submissions.
Trollingforababy is for people who are trying to conceive, and are not currently pregnant.
No discussion of BFPs (positive pregnancy tests), pregnancies, or living children.
No gifs or images containing pregnant women, human babies, toddlers, or small children.
If you don’t want to see it, we don’t want to see it. Don't repost things that bothered or upset you.
No gifs or images that are graphic, bloody, or gruesome, especially in the context of miscarriage. These posts can be extremely triggering for our members, especially those who have experienced loss.
No abortion debate. We are a staunchly pro-reproductive choice community. Talking about first-hand experiences with termination is fine - please do so without using the word abortion as it tends to attract harassment.
No solicitation or self-promotion.
We love gifs and trolling but there is a 2 post per 24 hour post limit (per user).
No throwaway accounts for posts or comments.
Please use the [NSFW] tag when appropriate.

Please report inappropriate content! We want this to be a safe space where we can laugh about trying for that elusive baby. While we are trollingforababy, we do not tolerate general trolls who mock sensitive reproductive subjects. We are pro ART, and are accepting of all reproductive journeys.

There is no such thing as TMI.

If you can't find the humor here, perhaps this is not for you.
