Examples of infertility acronyms & fertility abbreviations

Charissa Katsaros · 2016-04-12 15:32:20 UTC

Hey, this forum is free, isn't it? I want to share my thoughts with you all, because I'm fed up of reading sets of incredibly messy words that are almost impossible to read. Ttc, 2ww, Ivf, Iui, OHSS... I know the meaning of a few, but believe I don't understand most threads in this and other forums related to infertility because I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THOSE MESSY ABBREVIATIONS. Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker (my mother language is Greek) or maybe not, but please can you clarify the meaning of "Ttc" and "2ww" to me? Thanks in advance.
