Deciphering the Lingo

Through my obsession of the Yet-To-Conceive-But-Still-Trying-Like-Hell Community, I've picked up the lingo and use it in my blogs.  Here is a decoder.  Hopefully, this will help you understand my blog or similar online posts.  I'll continue to update, too.  Please let me know if I've missed any.

AF - Aunt Flow (your period)
BBT - basal body temperature (taken every morning before getting out of bed)
BB or BBS - boobies
BD - baby dance (sex)
BFN - big fat negative
BFP - big fat positive (woot! woot!)
CD - cycle day
CM- cervical mucus
CP - cervical position
DD - dear daughter
DH - dear hubby
DPO - days past ovulation
DS - dear son
DTD - did or doing the deed (sex)
EDD - estimated due date
EPS - early pregnancy symptoms
ETA - edited to add
EWCM - egg white cervical mucus
FF - fertility friend (online ovulation calendar)
FPS - false pregnancy symptoms (I get these a lot)
FX - fingers crossed
HPT - home pregnancy test
IVF - in vitro fertilization
LP - luteal phase (time between ovulation and period)
Nips - nipples
O - ovulation
OPK - ovulation predictor kit (hard as hell to decipher!)
OV - ovulation
PG - pregnant
PNV - prenatal vitamin
POAS - pee on a stick (pregnancy test - usually used to reference poas addicts!)
RE - Reproductive Endocrinologist
TTC - trying to conceive
TWW or 2WW - two week wait (between ovulation and 1st day you can test)
