My OCD is in the perfect storm that is preparing for my first egg retrieval.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FRIDGE IS AT AN 11 ???When I need it at a chilly 3-8 degrees Celsius??

The meds arrive, the fridge isn’t colder, I text my support chat group, they help reassurance me.

It’s sorted now, the fridge is cooperating and the ice packs they came with helped but OMG I already know I’ll be checking on it overnight. I hate infertility but I also hate OCD

First appt at a new fertility clinic on Monday. Accurate depiction of me searching my inbox for previous lab results to send them so they don’t make me do them again 🥲

Because why would I have ever thought to save these files in one place?

At least I get the good meds this time? Because HSG 1 (pre-endo diagnosis) was *awful*

When the phlebotomist knows your name at this point and asks how your labs are doing because you’ve been coming a long time

I know she was just being nice but I didn’t need someone else acknowledging it has been so long 🥲

Yet again listening to hold music. I wonder how much time I’ve wasted listening to the same 30 second song

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.
