I've seen others do this, but can't remember where, so unfortunately can't give them credit. It made me laugh. Hopefully it will make you laugh too.
I asked B to tell me what the below acronyms stand for. To give him a little credit, I don't think he's ever looked at one message board or IF blog.
AF: Always fertile
IUI: In-vitro uterine insert
IVF: In-vitro fertilization
ICSI: I come so insert (what?!)
BFN: Big friggin nothin (how appropriate!)
BFP: Big friggin pregnancy
TTC: Test, transfer, cope
IF: Infertility
2WW: To wish and wait
DH: Damn happy people
RE: Random embryo (huh?)
ART: Another rough testing
BCP: Birth canal part
POAS: Part ovarian all sperm
PUPO: Please undergo partial orgasm
FET: Frozen embryo transfer
HPT: Human papolone transfer (?)
OHSS: One hysterectomy should suffice
Here's what they really mean (for those of you unfamiliar with the lingo):
AF: Aunt Flo (period)
IUI: Intrauterine Insemination
IVF: In-vitro fertilization
ICSI: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
BFN: Big fat negative
BFP: Big fat positive
