A Quick Refresher

Here's the acronym list again:
2WW = 2 week wait (post ovulation, before we know if we're pregnant)
AF = Aunt Flow (period)
BCP = birth control pills
BFN = Big Fat Negative (refers to pregnancy tests)
BFP = Big Fat Positive (again, pregnangy tests, but much better result)
CD = cycle day
ER = egg retrieval
ET = egg transfer
FRED = First Response Pregnancy Test (thought to be more reliable than others)
HcG = The shot that makes me ovulate (ow!)
HPT = home pregnancy test
IM = intramuscular (long-needle shot)
IUI = intrauterine insemination
IVF = in-vitro fertilization
OHSS = ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
PIO = progesterone in oil
POAS = pee on a stick (take a HPT/FRED)
RE = reproductive endocrinologist (the Doc)
SA = sperm analysis (or how The Troops are doing, according to Mike)
SubQ = subcutaneous (short-needle shot)
TTC = trying to conceive
U/S = ultrasound

And also how to post comments:
1. Click on the line that says 0 Comments, or 1 Comment, etc.
2. Type your comment into the box.
3. Under "Choose and Identity," click on "Other."
4. Fill in your name and click "Publish Your Comment."

It seems the only feedback I'm getting is from Lisa, so I don't know if nobody else is reading this or what, but if you've got thoughts, no matter how mundane, let me have 'em!
