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

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!

DPO- days past ovulation
BFP-big fat positive (positive pregnancy test)
2ww-2 week wait, meaning the time between ovulation and your period.
Here are a few others:
AF-aunt flo, nickname for your period
BFN-big fat negative (negative pregnancy test)
CM-cervical mucus
OPK-ovulation predictor kit
BBT-basal body temperature
Hope this helps!

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)
