    What do they stand for?

    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.

    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/show...on-Translation!

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

    It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".
