TTC language

When I started to really get out there on the internet and started joining 'Trying To Conceive' communities and forums, I was so clueless as to what the abbreviations all meant!   Some of them were obvious, like AF for Aunt Flow, but otherwise, I always had to Google something before I would speak, just so I knew what was being referenced.   So here's list that I was able to compile, if you too are having that 'deer in the headlights' moment. At times, I may even abbreviate in my posts, so this will be a good reference to have.
