Hi everyone! I must say I got a few chuckles reading this thread - you're right, Barbara - who in the heck called it "My Friend"?!? I may have been glad to see it for the most part, but it was never my friend!!! :-) Marna's post with all the abbreviations is a good one. Everyone should copy it for referral. When I first found this site I felt real silly when I could not for the life of me figure out what BCPs were!!! I hadn't been on them for years, and I just never called 'em that when I was using them. I felt sheepish when I realized after awhile it was Birth Control Pills. Regards, Jean
