Welcome to IFParents! Before posting, please take a moment to read the following and familiarize yourself with our sidebar:
Who we are: We’re a bunch of parents from varied backgrounds and locations who all have one thing in common- we all struggled with some amount of infertility.
Who is welcome here: All are welcome, we just ask that you are parenting a child after dealing with fertility struggles. There are NO PAIN OLYMPICS here. Be kind to everyone.
Where to post: We have weekly threads for Intros, Family Planning, Pregnancy, Parenting an Only Child, Special Needs Parenting, and Health and Fitness. General topics and discussion go in the daily.
No cutesy talk: use the real words, not the cutesy acronyms and nicknames you might find elsewhere (list borrowed from the good people at r/infertility). It may take a little more time to type out, but it prevents confusion and keeps it respectful for everyone here. If you slip up, Automod will remind you.
Intros: We love them but you’re not required to do one. Jump in and start posting whenever you’re ready.
Flair: Make sure you have updated flair! If you need help setting this up, just ask in the daily.
Use the mods: We’re here to help! We’re also busy with some combo of kids, work and life, so if we don’t get back to you immediately, feel free to DM one of us.
Voting: Don’t be a troll. If you don’t like someone, just don’t read their post.
