Hi Everyone!

I am fairly new to these boards, and I found the website that has all the abreviations...but it doesn't list all of them....does someone have a more up to date list that I could look at? In particular- at the end of some of your posts it says C8 or CD20, what does that mean? And what is a BFP and BFN?

Thank you so much and I am wishing everyone lots of luck!!!

Also, thanks in advance for all your help!

Hi Michelle,

I don't have a "list", but here are some of the abbreviations you were looking for:

C8- "cycle" 8 (TTC for 8 cycles)

CD20- "cycle day" 20- the number of days a woman is on in her cycle

BFP- Big Fat Postive (when taking a HPT- "home pregnacy test")

BFN- Big Fat Negative


HTH (Hope that Helps)

Hi Michelle,

Let me see if I can help you out.

C= cycle you are currently on, meaning how many cycles have you been trying to conceive.

CD= Cycle Day, meaning what day of your cycle.

This is the ninth month I have been trying and I am 6 days since AF= Aunt Flo started, so mine looks like this
