TTC, BFPs, BFNs, 2ww, AF & Other Pregnancy Abbreviations
These abbreviations will only be familiar to those of you who have actually "tried" to have a baby. The first time I got pregnant it ended sadly a little past 22 weeks. I joined a website during that time to keep up with other ladies who were as far along as I was and it was basically just a plac to chit-chat about anything and everything pregnancy. After my pregnancy ended I found this site as a place for support, there where many other women who had been in the same, or similar situations, and some of them more than once. It wasn't until Bobby and I started trying to concieve (or TTC) that I got to learn the pregnancy lingo. I learned alot about myself, my body and pregnancy. Learning when you ovulate is probably the most tricky thing a woman can try to figure out. But once you do you can start your two week wait (or 2ww), until taking a pregnancy test. I posted on the TTC forum and made friends and lended support, awaiting my turn. Each day I get on to see who got a BFP (Big Fat Positive) and who got a BFN (Big Fat Negative). And of course that horrible Aunt Flow (AF, period) comes to visit every month. There are tons of other abbreviations, it'll blow your mind... but I became a pro. And just as I was becoming a pro, I got my BFP!
