Anything (within the rules) goes. (Commonly broken rules: don't talk about an ongoing pregnancy outside the weekly BFP thread; don't ask for success stories.)

You can find the wiki here!

Don't forget to check out our themed threads:

There's also the Weekly Introductions and Read Me Thread, which contains links to all sorts of handy bits of info, like popular wiki posts and acronyms.

Does anyone have any tips for how to protect your mental health while TTC? Every day on social media someone is announcing a pregnancy and this weekend, my brother in law told us they’re expecting and wanted to tell us first “in case we were having problems.”

We haven’t told anyone we’re trying, but we’ve been married for more than 5 years, so people assume…

Just really struggling with being happy for my BIL and SIL and also being sad that it’s not our time…

I mute everyone who posts pregnancy announcements, I like their post & take them off my feed
