I've been lurking around the bump for months. I lost my 3rd pregnancy in September. I keep seeing pics of penguins in signatures, they are precious. I'd just like to know if they represent something special?
The penguins originated over on the Infertility board. The ladies there thought that they could be a good luck charm - those penguins go through a lot to have their babies!
The Emperor Penguin is perhaps best known for the sequence of journeys adults make each year in order to mate and to feed their offspring. The only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, it treks 50?120 km (31?75 mi) over the ice to breeding colonies which may include thousands of individuals. The female lays a single egg, which is incubated by the male while the female returns to the sea to forage; parents subsequently take turns foraging at sea and caring for their chick in the colony.
Married 08.06 Started TTC 05.08 Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH DH: perfect 1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p 2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
