    May anyone translate? I’m afraid I’m not used to English abbreviations in this subject.
    IVF, ICSI, PCOS – are the same in my language
    TESA – might be TESE in my language (I’m happy that we do not need THIS one)
    DH, ttc – I’ve already learnt reading this blog
    but the others… *help*

    Lets see if I can help my DH and I have been TTC for 3 years.

    TTC means Trying to conceive
    SI means second infertility
    AF means Aunt Flo (period time our enemy)
    BFN means big fat negative (neg pregnancy test)
    BFP means big fat positive (yea!! positive pregnancy test)
