I'm new to this board...

I am reading all of your posts and it is quite helpful. I am just confused on some of the lingo...I can't find all of the meanings to some of the abbreviations

Any websites you can recommend to help with this process?

Any other advice?

Thanks ladies...look forward to chatting with you all

Re: I'm new to this board...

Right above the posts that you have read is a link called lingo. If you click there, it will tell you all the abbreviations that are used in these boards.

Good luck and I hope your stay is short!



FOR EVERYONE!

Re: I'm new to this board...

Im with you
A lot of what they talk about is not on the lingo list.

I can say most here are willing to help, so just ask "What does OPK stand for?" ususally someone will help out.
