This is all still so new to me, do you know if there is a cheat sheet on all these abreviations?  Any must reads for dealing with infertility?  TIA.

    Hi mamabear, welcome!!!  I know the abbreviations can be a little overwhelming at first, I needed a scorecard when I first joined.  Let me know which ones you need clarification on, hopefully I can help you out.  Here are few that I can think of at the top of my head:

    RE: Reproductive Endocrinologist (Infertility doctor)

    IUI: Artificial insemination

    IVF: Invetro Fertilitiztion

    MFI: Male factor infertility

    SA:Sperm analysis

    IF: Infertility

     M/C: Miscarriage

    CP: Chemical Pregnancy

    A lot of women on here have read The Infertility Cure, I have it, but have not read it in length.  I am sorry that you have to go through but hopefully I can offer some guidance and support along the way.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
