I’m new and abut confused by all the terminology being used here. Is there a guide to it?

No guide I know of!

Bfp = big fat positive
Bfn= big fat negative
Af = Aunt Flo (that oh so special time of the month)
I think hats what they mean but could be wrong!

BFP = big fat positive (as in pregnancy test)

BFN = big fat negative

AF = aunty flo as in your period

Good luck TTC (trying to conceive) if that's what you're up to, OP! (Original Poster).

www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms HTH (which I thought meant "here to help" or "happy to help" but doesn't!

JFGI made me chuckle!

Notsooriginalwerther · 16/05/2018 23:54

That is a great list! Just to add one that appears to be missing NC = no contact. :)

It means two week wait - the 2 weeks between ovulation and your period being due

ConfusedUnsure · 17/05/2018 00:08

Awesome! Thank you!

I thought HTH meant Hope That Helps

CheshireSplat · 17/05/2018 00:13

Tiger hope this helps...

FMU - first morning urine (best time to test)

FRER - First Response Early Result (favourite pregnancy test of some)
