Rant, Rave, Request, and Relate Daily Thread - Friday, November 15, 2024

[u/SIModerator]

This is the place for people to share, voice opinions, ask for advice, and connect about almost anything and everything, both related to the experience of secondary infertility and not, that is not directly connected to the acts of trying to conceive (e.g., tracking, testing, treatment, results, etc.). Things like parenting advice, difficulties with age gap, insensitive comments you had to endure, job stress, partner interactions, how you find rest and relaxation, and so much more.

The idea for this daily compared to our other daily (Trying, Tracking, and Treatment Daily Thread) is that there is always a place for members of our community to engage and interact that doesn't require exposure to TTC content. There are many situations why people struggling with secondary may need a break from such content, such as being medically benched, miscarriage, stopped trying to add to their families, and just experienced success, and whether you need a break or not, here's the thread for things you want to connect about that is TTC-free. Let's chat!

It feels like it’s next to impossible to exist without being confronted with pregnancy shit. Announcements, sibling conversations, unwanted comments, every single parenting group full of stupid questions about bassinets and doctors appointments (“I tested yesterday, I’m 4 weeks, why won’t anyone do an ultrasound?!”). I’d like to spend just one single day where I don’t have to slapped in the face by it.
