abbreviations.......

[wannabe.pg]

Hi Ladies,

Ok, I am new to this forum but am totally loving it, the support everyone offers is wonderful. The only thing is, when I very first came here, the use of abbreviations was overwhelming and I didnt know what half of you were talking about!! hehe!

I've learnt some of them now and still dont have a clue about others so I was wondering, if I list the ones here that i've heard (whether I have worked out what they mean or not) could you please tell me what they are? Sorry if there is a sticky somewhere with this but I couldnt find one and thought if i'm confused, there might be others out there who are too!!

Ok, here are the ones i've heard:

cm
af
bfn
bfp
ov
bd
ttc
poas
smep
dpo
frer
opk
tmi (love this one!)
evap
CD (followed by a number)

if you can think of any others to add to the lisat, please feel free!

thanks in advance!
