AF = Aunt Flo (period)
BD'd = Baby Danced
BFN = Big Fat Negative (as in negative pregnancy test)
BFP = Big Fat Positive (as in positive pregnancy test)
O'd = Ovulated
HPT = Home Pregnancy Test
DPO = Days Passed Ovulation
TTC = Trying to Conceive
I've been trying since March....I'm getting to be a pro at all the abbreviations. In the beginning I had no clue, but have figured them out over time.
http://www.twoweekwait.com has a whole list of abbreviations used and what they mean. It helped me out a lot.
