Pregnant after a Loss

Ellie in siggy - not ready to let her go!

So as you can see, I still have Ellie in my siggy (from TTCAL 6+). I just don't feel ready to delete her just yet. Part of me still feels like this isn't going to be real and I'll be back there soon.

For anyone else who has/had her in your siggy did you decide to keep her or when did you feel it was time to take her out? I'm not even sure if it's still appropriate to have her in my siggy still. Gah! I know it's not a big deal, but I'm just not sure what to do. 

BFP #1: 12/26/11, EDD 09/05/12; m/c discovered: 02/22/12 @ 12w u/s,
D&C: 03/08/12 Waited for AF for 146 long days!
Hysteroscopy/D&C on July 10th to fix blocked cervix (DX: Cervical Stenosis)
BFP #2 12/8/12, EDD 08/21/13 Our rainbow arrived 08/24/13!

Re: Ellie in siggy - not ready to let her go!

  • For some reason I never could get Ellie in my sig when I was on 6. If I had figured it out, I would have kept her in. She's a tribute to a your time with unbelievably strong women.

  • I still have Humphrey in mine! Like you, I feel like he's a symbol of where I've been and I don't want to take him out. I feel a bit more confident in this PG every week, but I don't want to get rid of him! I say keep Ellie for as long as you want!

    I still have Ellie in mine. I was on 6 for quite awhile. I still feel a connection to the board and it reminds me of how far I've come. I'm not ready to let her go either.


    This. I love Ellie and the women she represents. She represents a huge part of my life story and I like that she may be a symbol to others of what I've been through and the mad love I have for everyone going through it past, present, and future.

  • Thanks for all the input ladies! You guys pretty much summed up how I feel. I fell liek she's not only a tribute to everything I went through, but also a tribute to the women who supported me and everything they've gone through as well. When I think of these things it makes it feel more appropriate for me to keep her!

  • I say keep her there as long as you want! You were a part of TTCAL and made connections with the women there. I know for me, I automatically click TTCAL when I go to 'community' and have to remember I am on PgAL now. It's just out of habit because I was so use to going there every day. I miss the ladies there a lot and lurk, but don't feel comfortable posting.

    Now, if I could get my sig to let me update it, I'd post how far along I am, but every time I go there it's a blank screen! Argh.
