I’m a bit of a lurker, joined Mumsnet because we started TTC a few months ago. Is there some kind of directory to explain all the shorthand? I feel a bit lost when I try to follow a post but feel like everyone is talking in code. Sorry if this is covered somewhere but I couldn’t find it...

Hi, I’m in the same boat but have worked a few things out from reading lots of threads
BFP big fat positive
BFN big fat negative
MC miscarriage
MMC missed miscarriage
AF auntie flow / period
DH dear husband
DD dear daughter
DS dear son
That’s what I’ve made of it 🤣

We’ve been TTC since middle of last year, got BFP in October, sadly MC in December, now back on TTC again. I’m 39 (40 in 6 weeks) feel desperately like I’m running out of time. Thought we had a miracle baby in October but sadly MC, scared even if I do get pregnant I’ll MC again due to being older, scared my egg quality is not good. Anyway I hope I’ve helped you with the directory a bit in my limited knowledge and it’s nice to talk to someone else TTC, it’s such a rollercoaster

No worries! It’s actually not all that easy to find that list ConfusedGrin

There is a Help button right at the bottom of the screen…but it’s tiny so I’m not surprised you couldn’t find it Smile
Anyway good luck TTC Bear

Thank you for you reply x some of the short hand is so easy but then you see so many messages that are literally..for me, so hard to follow! I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time but have still taken some time out to help me x

I know it’s a bit mind boggling when you first start to read. Thank you, I’m still living in hope. I wish you the best of luck TTC. Hope we get our BFP soon 🤞🏻 X
