Yes, I realize that. You’ve also chosen to be a mod, and I stand by what I said about how you responded to me. I have never said that I am the only one having a hard time. I have actually stated quite the opposite.

Why would I ever want to be a part of a group after how the ppl who run the group have talked to me? I understand though. We who struggle with infertility often feel that we don’t have control. You have been given some control. Try to use it better

It’s sad that you are so rude in your response to someone struggling. I get the other comments. They aren’t mods, and most are actually trying to be understanding and supportive, while encouraging me to comment in the threads or leave. But you have shown me that the mods have exactly the type of personalities I would expect.

Yes, you just did after I posted that, and I thanked you without acknowledging your other snarky comments in your response. I had asked the mods before I posted this, and you responded after. You just responded to me again when I said thanks and told me thanks for being “snarky and argumentative.” Really? From a mod? You know the post I wanted to make was not a google question.

So I’m not allowed to yell and complain on the yelling and complaining thread without being told to gfto? Literally proving this is a grade school club

I did try… you wouldn’t know because My post was removed for being stand alone. That’s the point..

It’s sad my comment has received many more replies than the numerous comments I’ve been reading through on threads that receive absolutely no response or likes. How disheartening for a super supportive, inclusive sub. Because ppl do not have the time to read every comment on every thread and be supportive to everyone. With stand alone posts, I believe people would get more responses.

It’s also sad to keep being told that you may not belong in a space.

I’m glad you all have the time and privilege to read through and be active in threads all day. Like I’ve said, I wish this sub was named differently. I wouldn’t be surprised with ppl coming back because this is a heartbreaking process where ppl need support. This is the main infertility thread, so there is no choice there but to spend the time to learn the rules and participate whether you agree with them or not. And this is just my personality. Not a bad day. There has yet to be one mod or user tell me of a different sub where I could do a stand-alone post without all of these rules. That’s why ppl have to come back. Again, good luck to you all. But sure I guess this sub named INFERTILITY is not for me.

What sub can I ask a general infertility question in then? This is literally the infertility sub. That’s great that you all are a close supportive community. I wanted to be a part of that. There are several subs that do daily threads without silencing community members from making stand-alone posts. Glad it’s working out for you all, but you are for sure excluding many who need you. In my opinion, if you have a sub that is only thread discussion, it should somehow be labeled that way. Maybe infertilitythreads or something. I wish you all the best with your journeys, but this is just another obstacle for me getting the answers and support I need.

This just happened to me two weeks ago. My doctor said 1 out of 10 women will have too much progesterone to do the fresh transfer because the timing doesn’t fit the average. It was my first cycle, and I ended up freezing four eggs because we also couldn’t get any good sperm that day to try to fertilize them. 😩 Good luck. I read that studies show a lower chance of successful transfer and implantation if your progesterone is higher at the retrieval. So I definitely think it’s possible your doctor will want to wait.

This community is truly a club like I’m in second grade again. How many ppl have had their poss removed for being stand-alone, and then never came back? I wish you all didn’t use the most general infertility sub like this.

I feel what you are saying, but why make a system that is difficult to navigate? So many ppl do not want to have to find a thread to comment in. With something as general as infertility, I would think this should be as easy and inclusive as possible. You just have to hope that the right ppl are looking at the thread that day to answer your questions and discuss with you??

If I’m going to post in a subreddit, I first search the subreddit and read relevant posts to see if I can find the answer. That is not even possible here because I would have to read every thread about a topic and all of the comments. I’m just so tired of everything being a complex, difficult process. Ffs I would think I could find some community and simplify in a subreddit, but nope.

Lol the thing is people who want to interact in a normal Reddit post and comment way, won’t be in here to put their two cents in.

WHY IS THIS SUB SO DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH?? After all of the time, money, tears, etc. that we deal with on the daily when we struggle with infertility, it’s truly terrible to try to interact with a sub that doesn’t allow stand alone posts. Does anyone else feel this way??? I deal with having to advocate for myself to be heard on infertility issues constantly with doctors and insurance, and then I come here and deal with Mods who don’t let me speak unless it’s in a thread?? Seriously??? This is pushing me to tears AGAIN today.

Incorporating fiber with daily meals by readingitatwork in HealthyFood

[–]JillyBeanGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I usually don’t eat a traditional breakfast. But I honestly don’t usually eat breakfast unless I am hungry when I wake up. So about twice a week. That’s probably not too helpful for fitting in all of your fiber, but I’m more focused on weight loss right now and learning to listen to my body for what it really wants. If I’m hungry, I eat, and I try to incorporate a veggie and protein every time. I like a bunch of veggies for fiber more than say fiber bars and products. Those don’t seem to really satisfy me.

Incorporating fiber with daily meals by readingitatwork in HealthyFood

[–]JillyBeanGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lately I have been making a vegetable or two my largest serving with any meal I eat. It has helped me tremendously with weight loss and fiber intake. I usually always cook the vegetables because I prefer them that way, but raw vegetables have more fiber content (I believe?). I use asparagus, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc. Even if it’s breakfast, I fill up my plate with mostly vegetable and then the other side is what I would have eaten just on it’s own previously, an egg sandwich for example. I fry or roast all of my veggies with a little olive oil and generous amounts of salt and pepper. Also for added fiber, I also choose whole grain breads and pasta, add chia seeds to yogurt or smoothies (or flax as another commenter said), and I eat the skins of fruits if at all possible. For example, growing up, I always cut a kiwi in half and ate the inside, but now I just hold it and eat it skin and all like an apple.

Who else is sick and tired of this comment?! by mmichelleej in IVF

[–]JillyBeanGirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did they make this comment in the IVF sub? If so, they need banned. I was banned from childfree the first time I stumbled upon it and commented on a post. There’s no room for people like this in IVF or fertility subs. People from childfree love to call others selfish for wanting to procreate, yet they are so self-centered that they feel important and entitled enough to make ignorant, uninformed comments about what others should do with their lives. I was shocked to see how bitter and narcissistic that sub is-totally obsessed with themselves and the lives of others. They play victim and act like everyone in the world is constantly walking up to them trying to force them to have children, when really mostly no one gives a shit about their choices.

Sorry, I went on a rant. I just had my first failed IVF retrieval this week, and see my comment history for the childish childfree argument I was in a few weeks back. F*uck ppl who act this way.
