I received downvotes for asking what was wrong with your question, too. Are we posting in the wrong place? Did we use offensive language? What did we do wrong? Please let us know so we don’t continue to make the same mistakes.

If we did not do anything to break the sub rules, then I sincerely ask that everyone please be respectful and considerate of how your actions affect others.

This sub is inherently more personal and sensitive than others on Reddit. Piling on downvotes to benign comments with no explanation is very hurtful in a space that is intended to be welcoming, educational, and nonjudgmental for those of us struggling with fertility.

We are all here for the same reason. We all want the same thing. If we are doing something inappropriate, please tell us. If we are not, please be kind.
