SUBREDDIT RULES:

Follow the rules of Reddit.
Be kind and respectful of others. Insensitive or negative comments will be removed. If you disagree with another's post or comment, do so in a respectful way.
Graduation Thread: Keep TTC/Pregnancy Related Chat Here. How exciting that you’ve graduated! To be respectful of those struggling with their wait, please keep all graduation announcements [within one month or cycle]/TTC discussion/Pregnancy Scare or Joy discussion to this weekly thread. We welcome grads to stay and continue to keep up with each other here! Please note that users are always allowed to discuss existing children or past pregnancies, and current pregnancies may be discussed by grads if relevant to the conversation at hand or solicited by another user. No reproductive coercion suggestions/discussions allowed.
No ageism. Do not downplay others' waits due to their age. This does not mean age is never up for discussion. But please avoid saying things like "You're too young" or "You're getting too old!" Respect people's timelines. You never know what their situation is like. Age can be discuessed in a polite, respectful way. Please do not say someone is simply too old or too young. Check out:
