What does BFP stand for? I know it means a positive pregnancy, but what exactly? Also, what is BUMP? I haven't seen either on the abbreviations list.

BFP = Big Fat Positive

Bump - just means the person is bumping the message to the top so it will be read


HTH!

Greetings!

BFP = BIG FAT POSITIVE!!! So yes, in other words, a positive home pregnancy test (HPT). There's a great link to a list of acronyms used on this website...the link is near the top of the TTC message board home page. I refer to it when I forget or don't know what something stands for!

BUMP is what you can do if you post a message and no one responds right away. Sometimes if the board is really busy your message will fall down the list before anyone has a chance to respond. If you reply to your own message it will bump it back up to the top...a friendly reminder to us all that you have a question or thought that you'd like a reponse to!

Hope this helps :)
