Wow! There's soooooo many! I thought I'd got to grips with the abbreviations - looks like I'd better put my swatting glasses back on :-)

thank you so much for that gonna help alot x

bump for the newbies! xx

I am so glad you posted this. I was thinking about writing a post asking for a list as I am new to this site and don't have a clue what half of the mean - many thanks!

oohhh thankyou..i never knew this ttc business was so technical..this helps loads x

thank you sooooooooo much

bump again for newbies! xxx

Bump again.

Also:

CBD - Clear Blue Digital (the queen of pregnancy tests, despite my dislike for the Clear Blue company! - though more expensive and less sensitive than many on the market, so people tend to wait for BFP on a cheaper test, then confirm it on CBD)
CBFM - Clear Blue Fertility Monitor
FR - First Response (early pregnancy test - more sensitive than CBD)
MIU - can't remember what it stands for, but it measures the sensitivity of pregnancy tests - the lower it is, the more sensitive the test (and so the earlier you'll get a positive result). The lowest you can get is 10 MIU, most 'early' tests are 25, and some are 50.

Thanks so much this reallty helps.

bump again! xxxxx
