Hi,

Im new to this forum. We decided to try for a baby a few days ago, I was at the beginning of most fertile time. Now that has ended today, and im not due until 15th of Jan i cant wait.

Been reading the forums and everything is initialled, dont have a clue what its all about. I never use anything to help me get pregnant and my heart goes out to those who have been trying for ages. I had my second baby 8 months ago and cant wait to add to my family.

Im a little worried that this time round is going to be so hard in getting there as my husband and I have put a lot of weight on.

Can somebody please help me with these tests your doing, as i think i may give it a go.

Cheers
Helen

first off welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll be as addicted as the rest of us really soon! The initials can be a bit confusing at first but you soon pick it up, HPT is home pregnancy test, AF is aunt flo (another name for your period), BD is babydancing (what you have to do to get pregnant!), BFP is big fat positive (pregnancy test, the one we all pray for!), and BFN is big fat negative (the one we all hate!). I've missed loads out but just ask if there's any you're not sure of, the girls on here are great and will answer even if you think it's the silliest question ever! Good luck for the 15th, speak soon.

Love, Clare xxx

glad someone asked the question, been wondering what the initials meant myself but didn't ask cos thought it was daft. don't usually come on this discussion board usually on the miscarriage one, but glad i came on this one today cos atleast i now know.

Hi Clare,

Thanks for your help, it will take me a while to get used to.
