Hi,

This is a stupid question but can someone help me out.:) I am only a newbie on the forum and haven't gone through any medical assistance to conceive my 2 boys. I like to follow other people's journeys bc we will be trying for a girl next year through gender selection. But on the bottom of their posts the girls have abbriviations (?) that stand for something. Is there a thread explaining these.

Such as BFP, DHEA, FET, some have explaining their cycles such as 15dp5dt??? and so on...

I'm not too familiar with a lot of the HT (high-tech) ones, but BFP = "big fat positive" on a pregnancy test (similarly BFN is a negative pregnancy test), FET = frozen embryo transfer, 15dp5dt = 15 days past 5 day transfer (I think!)

here are some more abbreviations: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?2069-Abbreviation-Translation!

Rainbow is correct. We have a sticky in HT for abbreviations too.
