when you have multiple positives on an ovulation prediction kit I believe that you use the darkest positive as your most fertile day if I remember right I have only tried to use them once

an IUI is---- intra-uterine insemination which means---
A: An IUI -- intrauterine insemination -- is performed by threading a very thin flexible catheter through the cervix and injecting washed sperm directly into the uterus. The whole process doesn't take very long — it usually only requires the insertion of a speculum and then the catheter, a process that maybe takes a couple of minutes (60-90 seconds to introduce the catheter, then sperm injection, and another 60 seconds or so to remove the catheter — going slowly helps reduce discomfort). Sometimes when the cervix is hard to reach a tenaculum is used to hold the cervix, which makes the process a bit more uncomfortable

Hope this helps

If used correctly, the OPK positive results indicate you've had surges of LH (luteinizing hormone) each of these four days and ovulation is most likely on its way if not, like, now!!  The other possibility is if you have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) where the body produces excessive LH.  (If this is the case, don't worry, PCOS can be overcome with treatments.)  Are you keeping up with other vitals, like BBT and CM?  This can be instrumental in predicting ovulation and knowing when it happened.
  
And yes, it's hard to keep up with all of the abbreviations!  The standard ones are the following:

AF = Aunt Flow (your period)
BBT = Basal Body Temperature (taken with a fertility thermometer)
BFP = Big Fat Positive (pregnancy test)
CD = Cycle Day (CD1 begins on the first day of AF)
CF = Cervical Fluid (interchanged with CM = Cervical Mucus)
HPT = Home Pregnancy Test
IF = Infertility
IUI = Intrauterine Insemination
IVF = In Vitro Fertilization
LMP = Last Menstrual Period
OPK = Ovulation Predictor Kit
TTC = Trying To Conceive

Is there a good website to learn/know all of the abbreviations?

All of the abbreviations are listed on this site. If you read the very first welcome post in the forum- I believe it points you to where they are listed.
