Abbreviations

Just looking at that last, short, post, I realised I use a lot of abbreviations at times, and unless you are trying for a baby/nosing on baby forums, you might not know what they are.
So, if that's the case, these are the ones I use most often or may use in future...

AF - Aunt Flo (twee name for a period, bad habit I've got into, but it's much quicker to type!)
CD - Cycle Day (which day of my menstrual cycle it is)
CM - Cervical Mucus
EWCM - Egg White Cervial Mucus (a good sign of ovulation)
FSH - Follicle Stimulation Hormone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicle-stimulating_hormone)
LH - Luteinizing Hormone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luteinizing_hormone)
MC - Miscarriage
MMC - Missed miscarriage
Met. - Metformin
OPK - Ovulation Predictor Kits
Ov - Ovulation
Ov'd - Ovulated
PCOS - Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome
POAS - Pee/Peeing On A Stick (doing a pregnancy test)
TTC - Trying To Conceive
+ve - Positive (Pregnancy Test)
-ve - Negative (Pregnancy Test)

That's all I can think of for now....
