Hello, I'm new to this forum and I'm afraid I don't speak the lingo. (I'm still getting over all the high technology of OPKs which we didn't have only 8 years ago when I conceived my firstborn)!
I get AF = Aunt Fanny but the rest of it is all mumbo jumbo.
Could someone point me to a glossary link or help me out with some explanations?
Ta,
Confused
Hi Marydean, welcome to BB! There's a whole list of the jargon in the Messages for Moderators board, a sticky at the top, but in short:
TTC = trying to conceive
AF = Aunt Flo = period
CD = cycle day (CD1 is first day of your period)
DPO = days post/past ovulation
bd/dtd = have sex
POAS = pee on a stick = do an HPT
HPT = Home Pregnancy Test
BT = Blood test
BFP = Big Fat Positive (on HPT)
BFN = Big Fat Negative (on HPT)
HTH (hope that helps)!
(edit: link to other thread is here)
YTHH!!= Yes that Helps Heaps!
BD - is this "Baby Dancing" or do i have the wrong end of the (HPT) stick?? so what exactly does the DTD stand for (DirTee Dancin')?? LOL Sorry but if I don't get it I won't remember...
"baby dancing" and "doing the deed". LOL, I like thr DitTy Dancing suggestion... shame DH doesn't even like me humming "I've had the time of my life" though LMAO (laugh my backside off).
Ryn, you just cleared up LMAO for me too!!!!!! lol
Thanks, Ryn, I really appreciate your prompt reply and am chuffed that it came from the opposite side of the world (I'm in Oztraylia, Mate)!

Ah, you are all so lucky it's Friday night for you: I still have a day of work, or at least an afternoon of work, to get through! Major disadvantage of being a Brit on an Aussie site!
You're most welcome, Marydean, glad I could help.
PMSL - Just had to have a little chuckle here!! I think you're a bit of a character Marydean ;)
