Question - can someone more expreienced with the board please explain some of the common abbreviations I keep seeing? Many are put after signatures and then there is "BD" (which I know the meaning of (LOL) just don't know what the abbreviation stands for!

We will not laugh at you! :)

AF - Aunt Flo - your period

AFNW - Aunt Flo Not Wanted

AFSA - Aunt Flo Stay Away

BD - Baby Dancing - making love

CP - Cervical Position

CM - Cervical Mucus

CD - Cycle Day - which day you are on in your cycle

DPO - Days Past Ovulation

M/C - Miscarriage

That's all I can think of right now but those are commonly used here often. Also if you look under "Community Board Leaders" you will be TTC/IF Acroymn and Abbreviations List, click on that and there will be a list of them in there!

HTH!

BFP - Big Fat Positive

BFN - Big Fat Negative

I always knew what people meant by it but it took someone spelling it out for me to get those!

Good Luck!

Since we are on the subjest of abbreviations, I've been trying to figure out for the longest time what "TMI" stands for.

TMI stands for too much information!
