Even though I got my bfp, I don't want to leave you ladies. I love you and need you too much!
However, I'm in a quandry about my signature. I've been turning it off when I post here, because I'm afraid of hurting someone's feelings or causing them pain. I don't mind doing that at all, but I remember that when I came here, I rarely felt jealous or hurt that one of the ladies here was pregnant. I felt hopeful and it helped me keep looking forward to the day when I would have my own ticker to share.
I guess I'm asking what you ladies think. Please feel free to be totally honest. Thank you

It's very exciting and of course you want to share!
I'm new here and don't feel like my voice should mean much, but it's a sad reminder HOWEVER I would NOT want you to turn it off.... BE EXCITED & SHARE it honey. I have to deal with my emotions reguardless, a friend of mine is still pg and we were due the exact day, same exact length into our pregnancies (she's having smooth sailing) it hurts to think about, but I know that this is natures way of weeding out the imperfections. (as much as I hate to admit it)
I hope you don't mind my blunt honesty... You're thoughtful to ask, bless ur heart!

first of all Celena your voice here means as much as anyones!! Don't think that just because you are new here your voice does not matter... in fact it should matter more than someone who has been here along time. We want everyone to be happy here and the newbies are the ones who make this group keep going!
P, I love seeing your pregnancy progress. It makes me dream about when I will be able to hit the same milestones you are hitting. If you feel more comfortable turning it off feel free but I prefer to see the success stories that make this all worthwhile.

i'm just gonna say that sometimes it helps me with the actual posts of ladies. like for instance if you're telling a story about when you got your bfp and giving some help to others, then i look at the bottom and know you are pregnant and how far along. otherwise i wonder if you are referring to a loss... i don't mind seeing the tickers, it gives me hope!!!!! but i too think it is very nice of you to ask! enjoy your journey and share it with us!!!

Most definitely you should hang around and keep all of us informed with how you are doing. You give us hope (like the others already said). Sometimes I fear that I will not get the opportunity to have another healthy pregnancy and when I see someone else having one... then I know that maybe I can too.
I love watching all the tickers and due dates, lol.... just like I love looking at the pictures

When I first had my loss, I hated to be reminded of the healthy pregnancies of others. BUT, that was a long time ago. Now I like to see the tickers so I know how far along you are! I also miss it when our grads leave us!

Sometimes I get sad when I see that other people are pregnant again...but NEVER if I can tell from their siggy that they have experienced a loss. I dunno if that makes sense, but if I go to another board and see pregnancy tickers, sometimes that gets to me. But if I know the person is from one of the loss boards, then i'm like "YEAH! Show that PG Ticker!!!". I can clearly see from your siggy that you have experienced loss...all the more reason to show your successful pregnancy here! Otherwise, we might get kinda negative here...haha!

Offering to turn it off is very thoughtful of you. I think you should celebrate every moment of your pregnancy. You definitely deserve it.
