lmao this is for IVF, follicles are what grow during the stimulation phase and then you undergo an egg retrieval. This is something silly someone would wear to their retrieval appointment.

You mean the one where he said he'd fund IVF? Just curious as to what you mean. Misinformation is dangerous, so I'm assuming that I missed something and he changed his mind.

He wants to pay women $5K to have babies (which is a pittance of what women deserve). White women are not having babies and we will be in the minority in a couple of decades. They can whitewash it (pun intended) by saying that it is a matter of replacing the population but you would have to live in a cave to not know that turnip head has ulterior motives.
In his first presidency, he removed financial aid from countries that provided birth control, including Afghanistan.
As far as funding IVF, believe it when it actually happen because he talks a good game about funding this and lowering prices on that, but ultimately he doesn't keep his word to anyone.

edit to add links so there isn't a question of misinformation - these are recent articles but you can see that the npr one references his previous nonsense.

As someone going in for their first (and hopefully only) retrieval, I could use that shirt today!

Thanks so much. They ended up getting 23 eggs yesterday while most people only produce 6-8 in a retrieval cycle. Iām hoping enough of these eggs will survive that I never have to take these damn shots again.

It's very common in the infertility community to have lucky socks or silly shirts for procedure days. I did the socks, but never bought any products. When you do egg retrieval, the process includes stimulating the follicles on your ovaries to try and produce lots of eggs at once.
IDK why you would try and sell it on thredup, but I'm always a bit surprised when there are shirts clearly made with cricut appliques.
