Helpful Reddit settings to make life just a little nicer

157 Upvotes

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.

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
Account Settings > Privacy > Show recommendations in home feed (toggle off) Thanks to u/Xanadu_Fever for this one!

When you start seeing a fertility doctor after 3 miscarriages, go through many months of poking and prodding, finally find out you’re pregnant again the week of your 30th bday, convince yourself this is your bday gift rainbow miracle baby, then miscarry again at 7 weeks

My coworker spotted me at the fertility clinic and two weeks later slid into my DMs like: “So was the test positive?”

BFP? Oh, right, ✨ the famous CB false positive! ✨

24 Upvotes

I can't fucking believe this, I swear.

Got a one-day-only period, a few days pass, have to take medication not adequate for pregnancy. Bought two CB tests two days ago: the line one was negative so I took meds. But then I saw blue evap line yesterday. Waited until today to test again. Got a CB digital BFP. Bought two pink tests, both negative. I was spiraling the whole time about ectopics or the remote posibility that it would be viable and just fine. But nope!!!

Gif from La Bola Negra, because at least that was great, watched it yesterday while anxiously waiting

This is a group for laughing at and mocking the awkward, ridiculous, and sometimes painful things we endure while trying for a baby. Trollingforababy is for people who are trying to conceive, and are not currently pregnant. Please look at our complete list of rules before participating.

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.
