DPO, DTD, AP.... Um... What now?

So the last two days I have had sore breasts. I have been holding off testing as I know it's too early (though I'm sure I won't be able to restrain myself for much longer!) So instead, I thought I would do a quick little search of the interweb to see if it could be...

There are about a million and one forums and chat rooms of women posting about their symptoms - it is a whole other world! There even seems to be a whole language that only they know - throwing around acronyms like DPO, DTD and AP. They all seem to know what it means, but I don't have the faintest!! So after a lot of confusion and having lost interest in investigating why my boobs hurt, I did some digging and cracked the code.... Here is is:

AF = Aunt Flow
CM = Cervical Mucus
DPO = Days Past Ovulation
BFP = Big Fat Positive
BFN = Big Fat Negative
DD = Darling Daughter
DH = Darling Husband
DS = Darling Son
DTD = Did the Deed
2ww = two week wait
LO = Little one
HPT = Home pregnancy Test 

Who would have guessed?! So, my DH and I DTD and it's now 6 DPO (am in the 2ww period) and I am waiting until I can do a HPT and hopefully get a BFP! I actually think it took me longer to work out how to put the acronyms in to a sentence than it would if I typed if all out in good old English words! Ha!
