Hi all, There are lots of abbreviations floating around in this section, I wonder if anyone has a moment to spell a few out until we get a bit of a collection going for "newbie" types like myself? I'll start with one I know...
TTC = Trying To Conceive

Some of these might be a bit obvious, but I'll put them up anyway: - DH = Dear Husband
- BC = Birth Control
- IVF = In Vitro Fertilization
- IUI = Intrauterine Insemination (a.k.a., "Artificial" Insemination)
- ICSI = Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
- BD = Baby Dust (I think?)
- US = Ultrasound
- hCG = Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
- HSG = Hysterosalpingogram
- SHG = Sonohysterogram

We had kinda' originally tried to stay away from abbreviations like "BD, DH, etc", since they are so common on the infertility/baby message boards, and that isn't what this message board was intended for as a whole, and people who are not dealing w/ babies/infertility would have a difficult time of deciphering, when people could just type out what they meant. I guess we have enough people, though, who are members of baby boards that the baby/infertility abbreviations are just going to happen here, too. I'll copy/paste a huge list of abbreviations from one of the popular baby forums. The list is now "stickied" in the "General" board. Here is the link. cjlevett.proboards33.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1175820237&page=1
