Pre- Pregnancy Lingo…’Dope’ or ‘Dopey’

Posted in My Daily Plug..., Random Thoughts on Jan 11, 2008

Cycle day 35 and still no sign of “Aunt Flo”.  Although I could probably do well starring in a “Girls Gone Wild” stint, and really rake it in, with the size of my boobs at this point.  So I’m thinking it’s pretty close.  Either that or I’m preggers :-)  But remeber…we are not getting our hopes up here.

Random thought: Speaking of “Girls Gone Wild”, is Joe Francis still in jail?

Anyway, I was wondering…Is it just me, or does anyone else out there hate that reference, “Aunt Flo”?  It’s your flippin’ period, just call it that.  That’s what forum sites are well known for.  (Do me a favor and don’t ream me…I enjoy many pre-pregnancy/ pregnancy forum sites out there, I think they are a great place to find other women in similar situations to talk to…I just don’t care to use all the lingo that comes along with them)  For example:

“DH and I bd’d on cd14, 16, and 18, so now I’m 10dpo and the 2ww is just impossible!  I hope af doesn’t show b/c I just can’t wait to finally get that BFP!”

Translation:

“Dear Husband and I did the baby dance on cycle day 14, 16 and 18, so now I’m 10 days post ovulation and the two week wait is just impossible.  I hope Aunt Flo doesn’t show because I just can’t wait to finally get that big fat positive!”

OK.  But I think this can still be simplified:

“We had sex on days 14, 16, and 18 and it’s been 10 days since I ovulated.  The 2 weeks you have to wait to be able to take a pregnancy test lasts forever!  I hope I don’t get my period because I can’t wait to finally have a positive pregnancy test!

Better, right?

OK, I have been super lazy so far this morning and have yet to shower…I’m meeting a friend for lunch and really need to get my ass in gear here.  We here on Long Island had crazy thunder storms what seemed like ALL night!  Something I don’t think I’ve mentioned is that I am P.E.T.R.I.F.I.E.D. of thunder and lightening!  I cover my head with the covers and stick my fingers so deep into my ear that they touch somewhere in the middle!  (I bet you didn’t know that was possible, did you?)  Needless to say…I didn’t sleep well from about 2am – on.  And then I didn’t get out of bed until 9am!!  Who does that??  Not me!  Not even on weekends.  My husband I are normally up around 6:30 or so on Saturday and Sunday.  So yeah, I am a bit off track today.

More later!

    I always hated all the pregnancy boards lingo, too! And “Aunt Flo”, especially since, in fact, I really have an Aunt Flo!

    Hallelujah! I can’t stand the lingo so I never venture into forums! I met with our
    Doctor on Thursday and I am having a scan Monday - if there is a right side follicular
    We will rock an IUI - Can I say even though this all sucks it is nice to have some
    Company in the boat, it has been great to read someone who around the same place. Thanks for that.
