PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be considerate to those who are going thru a loss, recently have been thru a loss or having a hard time dealing with their loss or dealing with the TTCAL journey to TURN OFF YOUR SIGGY when replying to their posts.

While it is not mandatory, but it is a courtesy to others... remember when or put yourself in their shoes in your deepest darkest moments of your loss or journey how you might feel seeing someone else who's pregnant, pregnancy siggy, newborns, mentioning of pregnancy and so forth. It can be a BIG trigger and can exacerbate their sadness, depression and anxieties.

We're always proud and happy to see those in TTCAL to GRADUATE, it can be difficult for any of our ladies here... which also brings me to the "pg ment" in topic titles reminder as well.

MANY MANY thanks all of you in advance for being understanding in the reminder about this courtesy to others... especially for our ladies with their current or recent loss.

A quick tutorial on how to turn off your signature....
1) scroll down past the icon choices for your message
2) see those boxes with check marks, there's one that says "Show your signature"
3) Uncheck the box next to it
VOILA, you've disabled your signature

Thanks for pointing this out Celena.

I know how raw it all felt for me right after my loss and I for one would hate to know that I'd inadvertently made it worse for anyone else.

I never knew how to turn off my siggys before, but that's why I had stopped posting on this board after I got pregnant, I didn't want to anyone to be hurt by my siggy...It's always so painful, esp right after you have a loss.

I appreciate it ladies, it's not mandatory but ya know how it can be... all of us know out of anyone how it can be so I felt that everyone would understand.

Sometimes it slips past us or slips our minds to do these things and that's ok, we understand that. I just want to prevent any undue stress to those who are experiencing a rough patch.

BY NO MEANS does this mean to stop posting, we want everyone to remain active here because everyone has so much experience to share, support to give and compassionate hearts that we want graduates to stick around... especially in the rough beginning when everything seems so scary as well, that's what we're here for each other!

I'll post an edit in main post here to give instructions on how to turn off a signature, glad you pointed that out Megan (thanks!)
