A stupid request...
Ok, I don't mean to be stupid, but can someone post for me what all of the board lingo/letters stand for? I am new to the boards and sometimes have a hard time following the messages when I don't know what the letters stand for. Sorry!

Re: A stupid request...
A few that aren't on the lingo list:
CM or CF: cervical mucus or cervical fluid
DPO: days past ovulatioin
CD: cycle day
TBAF: that b*tch Aunt Flo
POAS: pee on a stick
2WW: the typical 2 weeks that you are wait (between ovualation and when AF is due) to see if you are PG or not .. two weeks is used loosely, it can be a little bit longer/shorter sometimes
