Totally new to LIF and to TTC

Total newbie! Just checking out the forum and can't decipher anything you all are talking about because I dont' know what any of these abbreviations mean. Is there a post that someone could bump that explains all of this? For ex. what is BDing? And when people say they are counting days to figure out ovulation do you count from the first day or the last day that you start? Thanks!
