BFP, DPO, CB....wot does it all mean?!?!

Hey girls I am new to this site and this is my first post. My partner and I got married recently so we have started to try for a baby....and we are so excited about it!!

I have been looking at all the posts on this website but to be honest I am a bit lost!!! everyone keeps posting acronyms and I have no idea what they mean.

can someone shed some light on them for me please?
