Acronyms

I've been reading blogs from people trying to conceive and trying to figure out what all the acronyms mean. I've figure some out, and I'm going to put them here so I remember, though I don't really see myself using these.

TTC - Trying to conceive
TWW - Two week wait
BFP - Big fat positive
BFN - Big fat negative
AF - Aunt Flo
OPK - Ovulation predictor kit
CD1, CD2, ... - Cycle Day 1, Cycle Day 2, ...
RE - Reproductive endocrinologist

It took me a while to get it too. I would also add DP=Dear Partner or DW=Dear Wife to your list.

I wish I had come across this post last week. I've been wading through acronyms for the last several days. There are some on here I hadn't figured out yet (BFN/BFP) - so thanks!
