Edited to add:

AIBU = Am I being unreasonable

HRML = Hitched rules my life

What about ETA and DP?

Ta

Edited to add

And I cant say I've ever seen DP. What context is it used in?

Think it might mean dearest partner, can't think which thread I've seen it in.

Cheers

I have guessed most of the others but as above ain't got a clue!!!

That's what I was thinking.

These are great, only problem is remembering them lol.

I8 managed to guess most of them but lurk on BT and often wondered what AF stood for. I do wonder actually what BFP/BFN stand for. obviously i know it means positive/negative pregnancy test but i really have no idea what 'BF' stands for!

Big fat positive/negative!

ETA

Edited To Add......when you're editing your own post..

Ah great! now i am less confused!

Bounced for all the lovely newbies!

Oh wow thanx ladies.... this really helps me, sorry to sound dumb xxx

Don't be daft!

HTH (Happy to Help/Hope that Helps)

?

More BT related ones.....i got that TTC was trying to concieve......so what's DTC dying/desperate to concieve???????

DTC is Determined to conceive, a littler nicer sounding that desperate don't you think?

MTTTC - mid term trying to conceive (ie after about 12 months I think - I didn't get that far before I go my BFP ?)

MINOS - mums in need of sleep

LO - little one

Ace thanks for this; everything makes much more sense now! ?
