Abbreviations
iuseNFP August 24, 2012We’ve all been there, reading something about NFP, thinking we’re comprehending it well and then BAM! Blindsided by some crazy assortment of letters.
“So yesterday was CD14 and my CM was 8C/KL, I believe I’m POD 1 and we’re currently TTA so DH and I DTD.”
Trying to achieve? Trying to avoid? WTH?!?
