Need help reading posts

I've been searching all over to see if I can find some reference on the codes folks use. I'm new here so there are a lot of things people say that I just don't understand. I didn't join the TTC board because we only tried for 1 cycle, so maybe that's why I'm out of the loop. Could we post some kind of dictionary for those like me who are cluless about these codes? There must be some others out there who are afraid to ask. Or, if there's a place with this information already posted, maybe you could tell me where it is.

TTC= trying to conceive
HPT=home pregnancy test
MW=midwife
BFP=?????

I think BFP = big fat positive (on a pregnancy test.)
HTH!

Okay what does HTH mean?

Could someone please help by posting the comon codes?!!!

[mommyheidi]

Sorry! :LOL

HTH = hope that helps
IYKWIM = if you know what I mean
BTDT = been there done that
TTYL = talk to you later
U/S = ultrasound
dd = dear daughter
ds = dear son
dh/dp = dear husband/partner

I don't know if there is a place that lists all acronyms, most of it I just picked up on my own. They are usually very common statements/phrases, but just ask when you don't catch something.
