Did you know what that meant?!
When I first started to read up on getting pregnant online, I was bombarded with abbrevations I didn't understand at all. Some were logic, others far from it :) So, I actually looked up and wrote down all those I could find and made a list. I hope you find it helpful! At least I would've, had I found something similar before! :D Oh, and if you find a mistake somewhere or have something to add, please let me know! I'll be very happy to update the list!
