What does all that mean....

I tend to forget that not everyone speaks infertility. So I put together a little cheat sheet.

What is IVF? In vitro fertilization

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_fertilisation

BFP- BIG FAT POSITIVE

TTC- Trying to Concieve

BETA- Blood test done to check for HCG levels to determine pregnancy

HCG- Human Chronic Gonadotropian hormone produced when pregnancy is success

U/S -Ultra Sound

B/W -Blood work

CD - cycle day

DPO - Days post ovulation

ER - Egg Retrieval

ET - Embryo Transfer

2WW - Two Week Wait

HPT - Home Pregnancy Test

PG - Pregnant

As I think of more I will add them to the list, I hope this is helpful
