Wow great to see this, I'm not having a baby now but I saw BD and BFP and was so confused!
@MissAsB: haha, yeah for a while I was trying to figure out what TWW was.
I also use OBC (oral birth control) which is a common abbreviation used by health professionals.
And you have a typo - TWW not TTW 
I had a hard time figuring out what CIO method for babies.
CIO = Cry IT Out
Isn't there also an abbrevation for Fertiliy monitor? I don't think it's FW. It think there is an O in it, maybe for Ovulation monitor?
ETA: Oh, what is OPK?... I think is it similar to pregnancy test.
@kirabee: Oh, thanks! Good catch! I'll change that.
Since you have BFP, probably should add BFN - big fat negative.
I also see LO - little one used also in reference to babies or children.
I think I must be in the minority, but I find most of these abbreviations to be tiresome and kind of robotic. I don't know why everything has to be given a handy acronym.
Just personally it makes the process more like a set of directions for putting together a microwave or something than having a baby. I dunno, maybe it's just me but the "TWW" and "OPK/HPT/etc etc" terms are really kind of depressing.
Ok, I'll add them to the list. If there are any other abbrevations the list is missing, let me know! Thanks everyone!
@fiya: If you don't like using abbrevations, you are free to write out the whole word. There's nothing wrong with that. Some of us find it easier to use abbrevations. I write out husband instead of DH sometimes if the OP is new to the site.
Along with the infertility words, you may want to add IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
@MrsMaine: Oh, good ones. Thanks!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Hey all. I'm editing the Baby Abbrevations page. Here http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Abbreviations#Common_Baby_Related_Abbreviations
Can you tell me what's missing?
I was browsing some threads trying to find some abbrevations.
I saw RE. What is RE? I found it in this thread. http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-using-fertility-medications
For someone will start TTC at the end of the summer, I'm new to all of these abbrevations.
Thanks!
