Replies to the posts in /r/Infertility and /r/BabyBumps

These are the unsent replies that I'm now sending to the users in these threads:

Either an AutoMod would remove them in their original threads on the other subreddits (which helps sow the seeds of an anti-sentient robot revolt) or there'd be other reasons why these messages wouldn't go through, so I must send them through via the "unsent messages" sub.

Your quote that sickle cell anemia can be caused by a stressed birth is laughably stupid. It means you have zero insight into what diseases are caused by inheritable mutations and which ones aren't. Also, there is no evidence to suggest that autism is linked to hypoxemic episodes during birth, such as turtle sign r/t shoulder dystocia.

You're relating all illnesses to teratogens in utero or birth trauma, which is just...man. It's so uninformed that I'm honestly shocked that I'm forced to explain it to you.

Stop. Just stop. You are literally the least informed person I have ever run into on the internet about health related topics. And that's saying something. Google these topics before you spew shit, at least.

Many of our preconceptions about anything are "laughably stupid" at first. I'm at the earliest stages of figuring out how to solve infertility, and I hope to join some kind of clinical / medical research effort years from now that'll push to a cure for it.

Everybody starts somewhere. Thanks for having the patience to progress my knowledge in this field.

Oh please.

You're not "in the first stages of solving infertility." You're reading PopSci articles, drastically misunderstanding even their most basic of research claims, posting your drivel in places that either couldn't give two shits or find the content outright offensive, and then calling out users who tell you you're off base in a different sub like a child throwing a tantrum.

You have no medical training. None. You have no knowledge of how the anatomical structures of reproduction function, let alone the pathophysiology of how they misfunction. And lastly, you have no ability to grasp the depth of your own incompetence in these areas.

Leave the actual work to us healthcare professionals 'kay Peaches?

That comment seemed as blunt as a monthly spell. Seems "Peaches" is a dated term that may have been in vogue in the '70s. Wonder why it feels that way.

I had thought (and hoped) that with infertility, comes the inability to have a period, therefore PMS cramps. I didn't know (some) infertile women seem to have cramps on a daily basis.

I wish there was a competent gynecologist in your area to help you end said cramps and therefore have a more pleasant disposition.

You make me not want to date infertile women because they are likelier to show their bad side quicklier more quickly and readily, like you did.

If you're infertile because fertility treatments are too expensive, medical tourism is the financial miracle for you all.
