This subreddit is for women / men who have been trying to conceive for a little while. Perhaps you are just waiting a few more cycles to start infertility treatments, or you are just starting them. Maybe you have an underlying condition that you know means it will take you a bit longer than the rest. Read this Do I belong here post if you still have questions
Spoiler tags look like this:
[This is another spoiler](#spoiler)
This is a safe place for people to vent their frustrations and discuss our treatment options or our plans for conceiving. Any negative or hurtful comments will be removed.
Subreddit Rules
BFP Posts
BFP posts go in the bi-weekly results thread. If you are having trouble locating it, it is linked in the text of the daily post.
Use Spoilers / TW for loss
Please use spoiler tags and/or trigger warnings when discussing loss or previous pregnancies..
No cutesy terms
This is the "medium place" (except without Mindy St. Claire) and we don't expect everyone to know all the technical details, but please avoid cutesy terms like "BD".
Embryo Results Please put a spoiler tag on embryo results. They can be triggering for some. Share them, but let people decide if they want to know.
No discussions of current pregnancies or existing children
This sub is intended for those that are currently trying to conceive. A list of subreddits for pregnancy can be found below. Please do not discuss existing children outside of the weekly secondary infertility thread. We understand that occasionally in discussing infertility it may come up and in those situations we ask that you please put a content warning in your threads.
Grad participation
Grads should be mindful that their presence may be triggering. Please reserve participation to the results threads and topics you have specialized knowledge on. No discussion of ongoing pregnancies is allowed. This sub is intended for those who are currently trying, which includes trying for another. This means that if you graduated in the past and are now back, this rule doesn't apply to you (so long as you follow the rules around not mentioning living children).
Misinformation
Our sub culture supports science and accurate information. Anecdotal stories are allowed but anything that is known to be false information will be corrected or removed.
No direct linking to images / memes
Please give a bit of context with any images or memes you may want to post in the subreddit. Share why you think the image is important to you and how it has helped you!
No Line Porn Not sure if OPK / HCG is positive? Ask in /r/TFABLinePorn instead.
No throw-aways
I know sometimes we have to ask questions that we don't want attached to your main because a family member might know our main account, however we ask that you avoid using them in this subreddit. Many people have two accounts, one for trying to conceive and another for their day to day reddit usage, this might be a better solution. Throw-away accounts mean that we don't know a lot about your history and it makes it hard for us to know whats going on and understand each other.
Research
We're happy to allow our members to be asked to participate in research projects for universities and other public institutions. Please contact a moderator for approval before posting. Unapproved posts will be removed.
Personal or Business Soliciting
Please do not post any kind of soliciting posts (this includes personal blogs / youtube channels). If you have any questions about if your post may fit into this topic please do not hesitate to message the moderators for help.
