    Help a newbee out 

    There are so many abbreviations on this site and it gets confusing. I thought it would be good to have a thread saying what they are. 

    When your new to this site (like me) and see STD in a title you do not think of it meaning Save The Date. 

    These are the only few I know

    BM- Bridesmaids 

    STD- save the date 

    Fi- Fiance 

    Please keep adding and posting thank you :) maybe this will help others

    that list doesnt cover any of the crazy baby ones.

    i dont really read the baby posts... im not TTC (trying to concieve), as they would say- but also bc I have no idea what the hell is going on. TTC is the only thing I have figured out!

    @September29:  I'm not TTC either (and won't be for a while!), but the number of abbreviations in the Babies thread titles is overwhelming!

    @September29: & @sarahbabs: Agreed!  I've figured out TTC, and CM (cervical mucous) and EWCM (egg white CM).  That's. About. It!

    @Juliepants: ooo mucus. hahah oh and i forgot that I found out BFP= big fat positive. i really don't get it... why just not say "positive" or "PT" for positive test or something? the "big fat" adds a negative connotation if you ask me. I think BFN for big fat negative would make more sense.

    @September29: One of the baby ones that took me forever was TWW - Two Week Wait after ovulation to testing time.

    And non baby related:  TL:DR. Too Long:Didn't Read.

    Those ones I had to google.

    @September29: Yeah I totally had to google that one.  I think they do use BFN as well!

    @thursdayschild: I've used TL;DR a bunch online, but never on here because I think I'd get flamed for snarkiness if I ever did, and rightfully so, haha!

    Thanks for this!!!  mucho helpful links!

     

    I seriously turned my nose up at CM and EWCM tho - and I do contraceptive nursing!!  Haha!!  Just didn't realise it would be something people would talk about, let alone have an abbreviation for - maybe that's because I'm not TTC!!!  ;)
