Team 'Pingu' is changing/relocating

To be honest I feel a little under qualified to be replying to this saga seeing as I have never been a prolific contributor to the team having originally joined as a lowly WTTer but I have enjoyed following so many of you on your journey's, cheering when you finally get that much longed for BFP and also sadly having a sinking heart every time a see a LTTTCer has gone back to CD1. I love how Pingus past and present still mix together and are so keen to follow each others progress, something which I have seen first hand since I got my own super special BFP, however, I have always been very mindful that this is a TTC support thread and I for one have always been very careful about what I post because of that, a little bit of consideration goes a long way.

Being pregnant is an exciting time, and being able to moan about being ill or being able to delight on other pregnant related happenings are all part and parcel of being pregnant and should be shared and celebrated, but I do think that a thread mainly devoted to TTC is not really the place to do this, especially as there are so many other areas of B&B that we can go to share these experiences.

I think having a grad group is a brilliant idea. That way we can still pop back to be supportive to our much loved Pingu team members who are having a bit of a tough time but still not loose touch with each other once we are lucky enough to get those BFP's. We can do as Lyns says and swap happily between the two groups, as and when we want/are able to, all part of one team but with every thing in its place.

You offer amazing support to each other ladies, long may it continue xx
 
As usual I am a little bit behind, that will teach me to take sooooooo long to post (I hate it when work gets in the way of my posting :rofl:)

What ever you think is best Nicky, I also promise to keep in touch where ever team Pingu ends up x
 
Blimey o'riley!

Nicky I think your idea of a group would be great, that way we can all be together popping in (wtt/ttc/lttc) /popping out (preggos/babes!) (pardon the pun :winkwink:) :rofl Im sorry you have got so upset about everything this week, that wasnt the intention by any of us Im sure ... sorry hunni :hugs:

I still want to be a part of the Pingu clan ... just been diff lately is all. Ive been sooo stressed (not ttc stuff tho I might add)!

Lyns ... lovely suggestion too ... and yes "I will be more proactive" if only to have a lil ol moan (I promise they wont be too big!)!

Would be happy with whatever the Pingus collectively decide. I know that doesnt help in the decision making as such, but I will follow you all wherever we are! :hugs: (there is no escape :argh:)

Anyhoo, just thought I would pop in whilst the guys here in the office are trapped in a meeting room, and I have 5 mins of sanity ... yes just 5 coz no doubt someone will want something inane very soon ...

lots of love to one and all ... :flower::hugs: xxxx

p.s. will be back on tonight, but off to my zumba class :happydance: tonight, so wont be til much later.
 
I think that relocating would be the best plan of action. I certainly wouldn't want this to group to just disappear.

I am sorry if I offended anyone or made anyone feel as though they don't belong here. That wasn't my intention.
 
Flip, I head to Scotland for a few days and come back to see such upset!

Nicky, you been the glue that has held us together here-THROUGH THICK and THIN! and that's how it should be, sharing in each others joys as well as our tears and heartaches, you can't appreciate one without the other!

Not sure what's going to happen here but I have always felt so easy about coming and going in here, we can all chose to take a break if we're finding things a bit much but i LOVE coming in here to find out who has had good news and to give or get encouragement when life isn't going so smoothly, if we were just TTCs nad LTCCs wouldn't life get a bit....sad....in here?

Nicky, you're a star and I'm sorry that you have been left upset. Dreading coming in here tomorrow and finding the Pingu thread...gone. :cry::cry::cry::cry:
 
WOW. OK well I was a TTC then got BFP. I was here at start with Nicky, though i don't post much in here, its in my threads, so every few days I catch up. I can imagine it being hard on the ttc/lttc, but as Nicky said we can't help what happens, hence we were the tight knit group supporting. I for one asked when fell pregant, if I should be here. Everyones reactions were same...stay. SO maybe move the group and keep chatting, but if its not about ttc.lttc/pg is there much point if people are going to go elsewhere as they're not comfortable here?

hmmm don't know what to suggest really, but GOld Star for Nicky for keeping it at it's top's for so long. only got to see number of posts/views for that! xx
 
oh gosh- I have loved team pingu but I havnt posted in here much since i had my baby, i follow the people who were ttc when i was as i feel i 'know' them and have been on a journey with them and i am happy to offer support to ttc where i can but tbh hugs and support from someone with a baby can sometimes smart a little no matter how well they are meant.
I belonged to another ttc team as well for people who have had losses and they have a ttc thread and a graduate thread which seems to work quite well, i guess that is why the board is split up like it is so you can share your part of the journey with others in the same place-doesnt mean you have no right to be in other areas or nothing valid to say but i guess you will have the most in common with people in the same place as you.
It breaks my heart when i read posts in the losses section as i really do know how they feel but i have to accept i am not the best person to offer support right now as i have a baby, and i suppose its the same for all the sections to a degree iyswim?
Prehaps we need to populate the board with pingus and have a team in each section!!
the support i have had from team pingu has been amazing and i really appreciated it, i try to give that back where appropriate
lots of love pingu ladies
xx
 
omg i cant beleive this lol i actually turned to this group because it was the only group that gave me advice and didnt just ignore me, good luck ladies and hope you all well in the future
 
Should we do one for each trimester?

it would be too much hassle keeping track of more than 1 thread hun

I will have a little think... and am more than happy to listen to any suggestions from you guys but im taking a little step back for a couple of days to concentrate on getting my blood pressure back down as I could be at risk of pre-eclampsia

Things may well blow over? and we can continue as we have been :shrug: but if that doesnt happen/people are still feeling uncomfortable the best option would probably be to shift the group out of TTC & into the "groups" section (near general chatter etc...)

as long as we can all keep in touch and nobody feels pushed out I will be happy :hugs: xxx
