TTA in the context of fertility stands for Trying To Avoid pregnancy.
In the world of online fertility communities, acronyms are often used to quickly convey a person's intentions regarding pregnancy. Understanding these acronyms can be helpful for anyone navigating these spaces. Here's a breakdown of related terms:
- TTA: Trying To Avoid (pregnancy). Individuals or couples who are TTA are actively using contraception or other methods to prevent pregnancy.
- TTC: Trying To Conceive. This refers to individuals or couples who are actively trying to get pregnant, often tracking ovulation and timing intercourse accordingly.
- TTW: Trying To Whatever. This indicates a neutral stance - neither actively trying to get pregnant nor actively preventing it. This could mean not using contraception but also not specifically timing intercourse to coincide with ovulation.
- TWW/2WW: Two-Week Wait. This is the period between ovulation and when a pregnancy test can reliably detect pregnancy (or when a period is expected).
Therefore, TTA fertility refers to the actions and methods a person uses to avoid becoming pregnant.
