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!

Re: Totally new to LIF and to TTC
BD is baby dancing...
the day you get your period (Aunt Flo-AF or TBAF that *itch Aunt Flo) is day 1 of your cycle.
