| 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.

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.

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.

No throwaway accounts for posts or comments.
Please use the [NSFW] tag when appropriate.

When even Apple doesn’t believe that you can get pregnant this cycle

When your team loses the National Championship and you’re trying not to see it as a sign for the rest of 2024

Was supposed to be 20 weeks today, instead I'm staring down the barrel of CD1 with another negative test.

Tired of seeing all the preggos
Drove around my neighborhood today and saw 3 different couples with baby bumps waddling and looking happy while I’m starting letrozole AGAIN ugh

When there’s a discussion going on a FB friend’s post about “there’s no tired like pregnancy tired”
02:16 UTC
Thought my clinic was calling me to tell me good news but instead they told me I won’t actually be able to start IVF until next year at the earliest
As if having a heart defect on top of dealing with infertility hasn’t already made this process shitty enough, now I have to hope that a spot on the hospital egg retrieval list opens up since I can’t get it done at my clinic

When you can’t even get to the starting line for your FET (delayed period after chemical pregnancy for last FET)
21:21 UTC
When you find out that there is no longer a heartbeat and they ask you if you found out the gender of the baby…
I realize my dad misread what I was saying about the heartbeat being gone and no growth since the last scan, but I wasn’t sure whether to start screaming or crying at that point that I am having a fucking miscarriage.

MFW I go broke testing 8DPO, 10DPO, 12DPO…
Why do I do this to myself???

MRW, I’m wanting to start a FET cycle and my period decides to be DAYS late and still no sign of it’s arrival 😤
(And testing negative as f@ck)

When your period finally arrives after a disaster FET that ended in a surprise MVA and you can barely get off the sofa but it's go time baby!
05:14 UTC
When it's CD 41, my periods 7 days late and not one + test.

It’s a party 🎉 down there 👇!

My Husbands reaction when I explain that pregnancy is more likely from right handed ovulation and this month I will ovulate from the left and therefore I’m already out even before I’ve ovulated
17:47 UTC
When you find out the pregnancy announcement from a coworker Monday was an April fools joke. 😡🤬😡
Yet you can't say anything because the work environment here is just like that.
15:08 UTC
I want this to end
Do I really want this? I no longer know. I, I want my life and happiness back. That’s it.

How I feel on 2dpo
No TWW flair?

When your period poops could destroy a small country.
For me one of the worst things about TTC has been giving up the BC that kept my heavy periods (and endometriomas and fibroids) under control...and also my IBS. Like, not only do I have to deal with awful PMS making it feel like the world is ending (more than usual) but now I cannot leave the toilet for a few days because my colon needs an exorcism?! How is that fair? How come testicle- havers just get to jizz and that's their only sacrifice?!
Periods can be so unpleasant. And just like TTC in general it's not really something you're allowed to talk about.
I feel for anyone with medicated cycles or trigger shots. Hang in there!

Googled a little too hard today after getting 3 polyps removed this morning and read that if they’re abnormal the treatment is a hysterectomy. Now onto a brutal 1-2 week wait for results from pathology and for the bills to come.
20:08 UTC
Me: In between IVF cycles, period 7 days late, and a million negative pregnancy tests later
Cristina Yang style ~ SOMEONE SEDATE ME😤😤

My ovaries dodging any kind of sensible ovulation schedule and forcing us to cancel IUI this month
I usually ovulate CD18-19. My first month on letrozole (this month) I’m ovulating either today CD11 or tomorrow. My clinic wasn’t even going to scan me until tomorrow but I got it moved up because I had a positive OPK. The nurse is saying it wouldn’t be the letrozole making me ovulate early but that seems ridiculous, it’s the only new variable.
Anyways. Off to have doctor prescribed sex all weekend.

What is a sign from the universe that TODAY will finally be the day you will get a call to inform you that they have a baby for you to adopt?

When you’re negative on 12 DPO and have to go to a mandatory work meeting with a “surprise baby shower” at the end for your coworker
Fuck my life
13:11 UTC
My face this morning after wiping and seeing red even though yesterday had a temp drop, my boobs stopped hurting, and got bright red spotting.
It could’ve been anything else….

Me looking in the mirror pretending like I have a baby bump on CD 1 with extreme cramps & bloating
I’m super bloated and I look like I have a cute baby bump. So I stared at myself in the mirror and practiced posing with my “bump” so fucking embarrassing 😫

Messaging my clinic's midwife to let her know beta fell to 0 and ask her what to expect (lots of bleeding, lots of pain?? I'm scared) only to get "If beta is 0 you can make an appointment with your doctor now".
I mean I GET IT it's a chemical and it's something so trivial to her but it's not for me 😔 My previous loss was a D&C so I don't know what I'm in for...
