I get stumped on some of the medical terms, and even on some of the very basic ones. For example: Dh = darling husband What does AF mean? What is an AFP test? And there are so many others that I don't get! Thanks! Carrie Oskar's mom 07/22/05

33karen	L&D	#13	[url]	[-]
AHC Board Regular Posts: 2 02/28/08 05:08	Thanks for the list it's very helpful. Just to clarify, L&D is Labor and Delivery, but it's not a procedure. It's just the floor/area in the hospital where, that's right, labor and deliveries occur. It may be referred to if someone was induced (which is a termination procedure), since the induction might take place in L&D.

AHC Veteran Posts: 5167 02/29/08 10:47 Admin	Karen: Thanks for the clarification. in general we refer to L&D here as an induction procedure as opposed to a D & E or a D & C. Even if it may be more appropriate to use "induction" it has become kind of standard on these boards (and others) to describe what we've gone through. Many of our members here have txed through an induced labor and delivery and that L & D label has stuck. JoRe

AHC Board Regular Posts: 6 03/03/08 10:12	Yes, I understand better now. I first read the acronym list before I had gotten access to the private forum. I can see now how you use the term L&D, in this context. -K

AHC Veteran Posts: 7 05/22/08 06:44	Also . . . what is BFN and MTHFR? I saw these on the TTC room. If you can help explain . . .

AHC Veteran Posts: 544 05/22/08 08:11 AHC Veteran	BFN = Big Fat Negative (meaning a negative pregnancy test, as opposed to a BFP = Big Fat Positive). MTHFR = methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (well, you asked). It's a gene that provides instructions for making an enzyme that helps metabolize folic acid and other B vitamins. Mutations in this gene are fairly common; in some women, it means they need to supplement with folic acid and B vitamins, and in others it means they need to take blood thinners as certain variations of the gene mutation can be related to clotting disorders.
