2WW - 2-Week Wait, aka TWW

-- the (approximate) time between when you ovulate and when your period is supposed to come

AO - Anovulation

--not ovulating (like anovulatory cycle is one where you don't ovulate)

CB - Cycle Buddy

--A person who gets their period at the same time you do

CD - Cycle Day

--The day of your cycle.... day 1 is the day your period comes.

DPO - Days Post-Ovulation

--days after you ovulate

FP - Follicular Phase

--one phase of your menstrual cycle (I think this is the time you have AF)


Best off googling these!
ICI - Intra-cervical Insemination
ICSI - Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
ITI - Intra-tubal Insemination
IUI - Intra-uterine Insemination
IVF - In Vitro Fertilization

LH - Luteinizing Hormone

--a hormone that peaks before ovulation

LP - Luteal Phase

--the time between ovulation and when you get your next period



okay well I think those are the ones you hear most of!
