Can someone make a list with all the abbreviations????

OMG!!!! I don't want to sound stupid but I can't figure out sometimes:

- BFP: positive pregnancy result (What is the B and the F... no idea)
- BFN: negative
- SSBD: sending you baby dust? but how about the other S?
- AF: no idea
- DH: dear husband

If you can add more I will appreciated:)

Thanks my ladies

-TWW: Train while waiting?

[Mariana101]

- TTC: ?

- TTC: trying to conceive... sorry... I knew that Hahahhaha:)

TWW = Two week wait (from ovulation until your period starts...or you get a positive pregnancy test.

There's a list of abbreviations in this site somewhere...I just can't remember were right now. Let me see if I can find it.

[Heather5]

OK, it's under "Health Pages" on top of the page, but here's the direct link:

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Fertility/Fertility-and-General-Posting-Acronyms/show/81?cid=82

This one's pretty extensive, so you should be able to find all the common ones...and then  some!
