I copied these from another thread for you where Aerial posted them.

I can help out a little:

DH - dear husband
SO - Significant other
O - Ovulation
AF - aunt flow (your period)
BBT - basal body temperature
CM - cervical mucus
CP - cervical position
TMI - too much info
TTC - trying to conceive
EWCM - egg white cervical mucus
BFP - big fat positive
BFN - big fat negative

These are all I can think of right now. If you see any others out there you have questions on, type it on here and whoever has a chance can help you out!

This is funny to me. Since I work for the govt, we have so many acronyms that we have a website devoted to them, where you can type the acronym in and the site will define it for you. I never thought I'd see anything else with that many, but TTC is coming close!!!
