Confused by all the acronyms

Post by heidi b »

Hi
I'm new, my name is Heidi

I see all these acronyms

DPO
HPT
BFP
EPU

I'm new to all this, can someone translate?

I had my day 5 blasts transferred on Nov 3. Had my blood test Nov 12 and my HCG was only 33. They retested this morning and I am hoping my HCG levels are up on a more normal level and my pregnancy is viable. I am 39 years old, used my own eggs. Had an FSH of 6.8, retrieved 23 eggs, fertilized 16 and 6 went to blast so I now have 4 frozen.

thank you!

Hi Heidi,

Congrats on your BFP (Big Fat Pregnant :D we love seeing those here) fingers crossed your beta/hcg levels increase. DPO - days past ovulation, HPT hormone pregnancy test. There is a list of abbreviations in the General Forum under sticky abbreviations. Best of luck and its great you have some frozen babies - hopefully you wont need them for a while!!
