help with some TTC acronyms?

I was able to look up a few of the TTC acronyms on the chat lingo list, but there seem to be more that I just have no idea what they mean. Other than what's on the list, can someone fill me in on TTC acronym lingo? I'd like to educate myself TIA!

Which ones do you need help with? There are so many it seems!!
Here are some Ive used recently

FMU - first morning urine
HPT - home preg test
FRER - first response early result HPT
TMI - too much information

those are helpful - thanks!
I saw one for OPK though, what is that?

OPK = Ovulation Predictor Kit

Come to think of it, I'm not 100% sure WHAT it means, letter for letter.. I think it technically stands for Ovulation Predictor Kit..

but its a term that is used for ovulation test sticks..

Some of the other ones that took me awhile to figure out:

DPO - days past ovulation , i.e. I am 10DPO (10 days past ovulation)

CD - cycle day

BFP and BFN - big fat positive/big fat negative

BD- baby dust AND baby dance

I swear , TTC lingo is truly like learning a new language

It so is! I was just reading something online and they had the initials 'BD' and I immediately though 'baby dance' and they were talking about a 'Business Degree'

lol - I DO feel like I'm learning a secret language or something like that too! Thanks so much ladies, this helps me decipher some of the posts I've been reading here on TTC

Then there is my favorite -

TBAF which stands for That B!tch Aunt Flow!

ETA: and how could I forget our newest entry:

POASA - Pee on a stick addict.

OMG - that pee on a stick website is the coolest! I was on it earlier this morning and I HAD to get up and walk away from my computer or else I would have spent the entire day there - and then what happens when my boss checks my internet log and sees www.peeonastick.com ? I really love that webpage now, it's so informative!

Do any of you ever say the acronym 'DH' or any LIW ancronym when talking to friends or strangers and actually Say.......'My Dear Husband.....' I have done this a few times and I feel foolish. It sounds hilarious when you say it out loud!

Yes, I say 'DH' every now and then.

The other day I told my sister I had to Baby Dance (I phrase I would never use outside of these boards!!)
