What do the acronyms mean?

I figured out TTC but there's a couple others

DPO

BFP

2WW

pardon my ignorance, trying to cure it here, also crossing my fingers for baby dust in three days.

Update:

Thanks for the real answers Jennifer!

Annoying to think that just because I don't understand the jargon in a section of Y!A I haven't been to before would result in such snobby answers from others

    We all had to learn at one point.

    dpo days past ovulation

    bfp big fat positive

    bfn big fat negative

    2ww two week wait (this is the wait after the woman has ovulated until her period arrives which hopefully it doesn't when she's ttc)

    others:

    CM cervical mucous

    hpt home pregnancy test

    opk ovulation predictor kit

    dh dear husband

    id implantation dip

    ib implantation bleeding

    O ovulation

    AF aunt flo

    Bd baby dancing (sex)

    Some of those aren't as common, but I have a tendency to use them based on another website.

    I wish you the best!

    Days post- ovulation(days after you have ovulated)

    Big Freakin' positive (possitive pregnancy test) BFN would be negative instead of possitive

    2 week wait (waiting the 2 weeks after ovulation to find out if you are pregnant or not)
