This list awesome. I’m not to saavy with all the acronyms yet and was scratching my head at some of them while reading up on other blogs as well as this one. I told myself I would eventually google them but this is much better. Thanks so much!

@Tequiero21 – I remember thinking the exact same thing! There are sooooooo many acronymns in this “world” and I didn’t know any of them! Now that I’ve had baby fever for two years now, I knew most of these on the list, though I’ll admit, there were still some I didn’t know!

@adira – haha! me too. now, i definitely feel more “conversant” and i’ll just search for pregnancy acronyms if i don’t know it or if they use terms that i’m not sure about. like rainbow baby. i finally know what that is – my 2 lil buns.

oh jeez, these acronyms are starting to make me nervous! i thought there were a lot when i was on weddingbee… this is borderline overwhelming (but the list is definitely helpful)!

Curious about your bloggers– will they have to write posts (or will they be edited) to include these acronyms?

I would add CBEFM for Clear Blue Easy Fertlity Monitor and ART for Assisted Reproductive Technology.

What is POAS?

@msmug: POAS is Pee on a Stick.
@Mrs. Bee: Can you add FRER? I see this on the boards all the time and I’m always confused by it. I just did a search and stands for First Response Early Result.
