PPV?  I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean pay-per-view.  Ha! It's been driving me bonkers.

    Ohhhhhh.  Ok.  That made me laugh.  Thanks Edwina.  Too cute!

    "Fingers crossed and pay per view" just didn't seem right.  ;) 

    Now, please enlighten me further. What's the origin?

    I was SO excited that I knew what it was!  

    What do the penguins stand for?
    Penguins are the board mascot. Both penguin parents undergo significant duress and make huge sacrifices to make it happen. Their journey is symbolically similar to the journey that IFers go through to get one healthy baby. For more, look up "Emperor Penguins" or watch March of the Penguins.

    PPV, or power penguin vibes, are extra special good wishes from one IFer to another.

    yes :)

    but the idea for a board mascot was tarahville's and montymrs came up with penguins and i came up with PPV's penguin power vibes :)

    they are very powerful :)  

    and now you know why some of old timers have penguins in our siggies

    This made me LOL!  I had this very same question when I started hanging out on this board too :)

    Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

    IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

    Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.
