Women Infertility blog Abbreviations


If you are new to the Women Infertility blog world. You will probably
have already noticed, that there are an awful lot of words that are
abbreviated.
Some of them are abbreviations used for long medical words, that
are only used when there is a problem with Women Infertility.
Another group of words that are usually wrote as an abbreviation are
Women Infertility Causes and ways to Treat Infertility.
There is another group of abbreviated words that are used mainly by
Women Infertility forums and Women Infertility blog members.

   As you can see there is quite a few of these abbreviated words so
I thought I would do a list of the most commonly used
Women Infertility Abbreviations and what they mean.
