I believe that if you scroll way, way down to the right, one of the Health Pages on MedHelp has some of the abbreviations that are used when ttc (trying to conceive), including bd (baby dance) for sex, af (Aunt Flo) for the period, and dh (dear husband), dd (dear daughter) and ds (dear son). Don't know if it is an exhaustive list, but last time I looked for it, it was there.
