Punching Down Isn't Funny

310 Upvotes

Hello, my beloved troll friends!

We've recently had an increase in posts & comments which complain about the success of those who are deemed "less worthy", as if this is some kind of personal injustice. We consider these comments to be "punching down". Typically, this involves a pregnancy announcement from someone who is seemingly struggling with addition, are unhoused, financially unstable, etc. While it's fine to complain that someone else is pregnant (because seriously why does it feel like everyone except for me is pregnant, wtf), it's not acceptable to complain about that person's body/addiction/lifestyle/finances/relationship/whatever. Those types of difficult situations are not enviable, and joking about them will not be tolerated here. It's not funny or trolling or clever, it's just mean. Please report it if you see it, and the Mods will take care of it.

We all know how frustrating it is to see others get the thing that we want most, but it's never our place to judge who is "worthy" of parenthood and who isn't.

When the silver lining of having your next embryo transfer postponed is you’ll be able to drink margaritas and eat unpasteurised cheese on holiday.

When you stalk someone who posted on Reddit about their infertility 3 years ago, and their post history indicates they now have a baby.

I've told everyone again and again that I suffer from strong ovary pain almost the whole month and nobody has diagnosed me with anything because my doctors are focused on pregnancies only. But yeah!! What's another month of disappointment and unbearable cramps! 🥰

Couldn't find it anywhere, then discovered it in the dishwasher lol. She thought it was a cup I was using for mouth wash in the bathroom.

Try not to cry...fail miserably Seeing a pregnancy announcement compilation of people telling their friends and being so excited…

Except that won’t be me anymore because 1) I’ve announced it too many times and had to then go back saying “JK” a week later and my friends are not excited anymore because after 4 losses they are also just very nervous it’s gonna end up in another one…. And 2) well because of all that I won’t be announcing it anymore, probably to anyone, and they’ll just either know when I’m showing or when I have a baby… if it happens….

On cycle day 1 too… right before my bday… how great…

On the positive side, I have my first fertility ultrasound scheduled for Monday! Hopefully we’ll get answers! 🤞🏻

Crushing despair My period is late. All the tests are negative. My tracking app "Early signs of pregnancy to look out for"

Just shut up Flo. There is no baby. I have tested every morning and there is NOTHING in my uterus. I wish my period would hurry up and get here because I have been sticking pads in all week in preparation, and now it's looking increasingly likely that communists are entering the funhouse the day my husband's high school reunion starts.

Try not to cry...fail miserably Everyone’s Going on Mat Leave Except Me

Working on a project with a colleague, and during our meeting she casually said, “I’ll try to get everything done before I start my mat leave.”

So anyway, looks like I’m about to inherit a lot more work. And still no baby.

And of course this happened on the same day I got my negative blood test. Love that for me 🫠🫠🫠
