Were you offended by what I posted? When you asked why anyone might not like your siggy, I tried to say that it might be the acronymns that can be overwhelming to those not familiar with them. I thought I was just answering the question, and I genuinely tried to be tender and kind about it. It's been brought to my attention today that it came across to some as offensive. That's genuinely a shock to me and that's never how I meant it. As someone who will almost certainly never be able to get pregnant, I would never ever purposely hurt someone who lost a child.
I am a Christian and I practice loving all people. Sometimes as a human I don't do a good job. If my posts didn't accurately show compassion and love, I sincerely apologize. I have been praying for you and your family.
Re: ***Figgs***
but there weren't acronyms in her siggy so it makes the whole thing just more stupid. only gestational ages.
//suck my siggy ladies.
BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes there were. She took them out a little while after I posted. Which kind of added to my thinking that she wasn't offended by what I said.

Maybe she changed it so that you people would STFU. Leave her alone. I think you guys got what you wanted, and her kind won't be coming around here anymore.
Now STFU!!!!

I did not take offense to you. What no one seems to realize is that my siggy was meant for the bump side. You marked when you got your positive (BFP) and you estimated due date (EDD).. I know now that it may have seemed strange since some may not have understood the lingo which is why I changed it a bit.
Either which way, it is water under the bridge. Im not upset with you. There are others here (and I don't need to point any fingers) that were beyond offensive and should be ashamed. But hey, karma is a biitch.

1. Awesome. I was legitimately worried about that.
2. I totally agree.

I just replied to the original post about how there were no acronyms...I see now that perhaps there were some in Figgs siggy originally. In that case, I apologize if what I said was offensive to you.
I realize this is not the case right now since you are one THIS board, but as someone who never thought she would ever be able to get pregnant, I hope that you someday have a child of your own if that is what you eventually want.
It is big of you to apologize to Figgs...glad to see that certain people don't represent the general mindset of this board!
Thank you. DH and I do want a child someday, but we're not ready yet if the news is that we'll need IVF (and can't afford it right now) or that we'll never have children. But that's years in the future, so that's why I started posting here.

What does the bolded part mean? Like, when you have a positive pregnancy test? *I apologize for my ignorance, I'm seriously just curious.
fwiw, I love children (I'm a nanny), I plan to have children, but ever since getting married (in November) all I get asked is when we will have children/BR conversations/etc.
