The abbreviations

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I keep seeing all these abbreviations. I have no idea what they mean. Could someone give me a list of what they all stand for?

For example, NOD

Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    NOD = Not On Date
    This is the date you expect to get your period (so you expect a new menstrual cycle to start), but if you're trying to conceive, you of course hope this won't happen.

    dpo = days past ovulation
    So 5 dpo would mean, for example: 5 days after your ovulation.

    cd = cycle day
    So if someone says: 'I'm on cd 23', that means they're on cycle day 23.

    These are the first abbreviations I thought of.

    LisaV says those are indeed the most commonly used ones!
    Then there are also these:
    DL: daughter dear
    ZL: son dear
    ML: husband dear
    (please don't use these, I'm disgusted by the above abbreviations haha)
    LF: luteal phase: the period between ovulation and menstruation

    By the way, you can also Google "abbreviations for pregnant forums" and you'll get a whole list.

    Haha, just like making it cozy . I make it cozy every day with my husband. But I really don't have sex every day
    But what you're saying, everyone's got their own thing
