Help with acronyms?

jsel

Hi all - new to forums and getting ready to try our first IUI this month. Can anyone help me out with all the common acronyms used here? I finally figured out TWW = two week wait, but sometimes reading these threads is like reading another language? For example, what's a BETA? Thanks for any help!

Hi! I know what you mean, it's like a different language. BETA is the blood work the doctors office will do at the end of the two week wait to see if your pregnant.
AF=aunt flow (your period)
RE=reproduction endocrinologist
There's more that I can't think of now but hopefully someone else will respond and add some others!

Good luck!!
