The diaper ads are really effing annoying

[Deleted]

WTF advertisers? Apparently from my search history around TTC, advertisers get the idea that they should show me ads for newborn diapers. I can only imagine how much more annoying that is for those with IF and losses. I'm still early on in the TTC world and really annoyed.

Yea, I'm in a bitchy mood tonight. Anyone else?

I had baby ads on my Facebook for a long time...but after being married for many years without children, it has since moved on to showing me divorce lawyer ads. Facebook is a presumptuous bastard.

Sounds like you need to download some AdBlock.

Yea, probably. They usually don't bother me, but today I was like...

My ads are clearblue pregnancy tests on facebook.

Yay.

Mine were maternity wear. I have never searched for that. It's annoying.

I get the "things you might be interested in" ads of maternity wear stores because so many friends have liked their pages

Mine are for PiYo. Apparently someone is telling me I'm a fat ass.

When DH and I first started talking about TTC I went a little crazy looking at baby stuff "just for fun" and FB, Google, and Amazon all started bombarding me with ads. Luckily the excitement of fantasy shopping has worn off and the internet has stopped taunting me with images of things I don't need. Hopefully yours will do the same eventually!

God forbid I create a fake baby registry because I am bored, a little drunk, and cd1... Emails constantly, mailing me coupons and samples for enfamil and diapers... Bah. I hate targeted advertising.

That reminds me, I need to delete my baby registry I created a year ago when I was *positive* I would conceive in my first month. LOLz.

Facebook is a creeper.. You don't know my lyffee!!

I signed up for both Enfamil and Similac to get coupons for a good friend and one of my sister-in-laws. Enfamil and Similac have figured out I don't have a baby but Facebook likes to poke fun at me every couple weeks.
I'm also convinced the cable company knows my cycle because I swear I only see ads for HPTs right before I'm due each month.

Belated FFFC: because of my insanity looking at baby stuff when I wanted to start TTC, Target sent me a catalog in the mail. It included a little card that said if I made a registry with them and printed it out, they'd give me a $20 gift card.

And I totally did it. I may have pushed my belly wayyy out like an idiot, as if they were going to look at me to judge if I was lying or not.

I am a horrible person. But I bought new pants.

I get the Honest Company stuff on FB that allll my pregnant and parent friends like, so I get these pretty diapers everywhere, all the time asking me to get free samples.

I'm sorry. I hate when I get ads for baby stuff.


For some reason Youtube and Hulu keep giving me ads for Jane the Virgin and Plan B. I have also received at least 4 flyers for birth control.

Fuck you internet.
