The OB/GYN had to ask me what 'TTC' meant. Oh! Hehe. Yeah, I was a little embarrassed. I thought they would know that abbrevation. I guess I was wrong.
Oh, I didn't say 'TTC', I wrote TTC on the paperwork that asked me the reason for my visit. In the real world, I say 'trying to conceive.' Although, I do have to stop myself from saying TTC.
Anyone use any HB abbrevations in real life?

Too funny. I find myself typing "LO" on non-parenting sites all the time.

I would have thought they'd know that acronym because it isn't just a HelloBee one. It is used widely on all pregnancy related websites (at least the several I watch).

That's funny. I use the abbreviations on texts to my BFF all the time. She is TTC too though.

I always come close, but manage to stop myself before I do it.

How funny! hehe. I use MIL and FIL when I text my friends and they have no idea what I mean.

@Andrea: Yeah, I know.
@purrpletulips: Yeah, my sister and I know the abbrevations and I think we are on different forums.
@winniebee: I almost used DH in real life, too.
@banana: Haha. I wonder if they think it is similar to MILF... So MIL is Mother I like or FIL is Father I like?
I did almost say to the DH. 'Do you want to BD?"

yeah, the FIL and MIL are the ones I use IRL a lot and people get confused.

I showed a midwife my fertility friend chart and she asked what BD meant! That was embarrassing. I just said intercourse.
