When replying to a thread, especially one that is about a loss someone is going through/JUST gone through - those who have "I'm pregnant" tickers - you might want to turn off your signature on your reply. you can do that by "unchecking" the "show your signature" box on the reply window, before hitting "Post Quick Reply".
The only reason why I bring this up is that I was recently reading a Ladies' post about her loss, and as I scrolled through the repsonses, I saw one that had a ticker with the picture of the embryo. I couldn't help but think "awww. That could be hard for XXX to see that right now, as she goes through this loss."
It's just a thought. Not a requirement.
Let the inevitable debate begin.

I'm so glad you mentioned this because i didn't know until recently that you could turn your siggy off - i finally figured it out this week and started replying to posts - i didn't want to before because of the siggy. I think it's a sensitivity thing/ support thing. I never had trouble with others siggies after my losses - but i could def see where it could be hard - just like the ob's office almost (after a loss) which did suck for me. Again, thanks for bringing that up and I think it's a wonderful mention!
