Good idea for a thread.

under "useful stuff" at the top of the page is an acronym list - should answer most of those -
do come back if there are any more that you need help with - can all be a bit confusing until you get the hang of it

ewcm = ???
Bding = ?
Af = ??
cd = cycle day
hpd = ???
cbd = ??
cw = ??

Umm think EWCM - the end bit is cervical mucous

BD - baby dancing - having sex

no idea about the others. It's like a foreign language isn't it. Here's a tip, man, woman, sex, lots of, helps (well it worked in the end for me)
