TTC after 35
The Bar is OPEN!
Hello, beautiful, youthful and strong women of TTC@35+!
There's a lot to celebrate around here, so let's celebrate!
I've got special, fertility-enhancing champagne today. But name your drink, and it's yours.
All I really want today is the biggest coffee in the universe. And I'm virtually having it!
I've got The Pretenders on the jukebox, reminding us all that we're special. Tee hee.
Price of drink: Tell us what you need Bump Power for this week.
Me: I'd like a little of it to remain sane over the weekend (already thinking every weird feeling means AF is starting. STAY AWAY AF!) and, if I might, A LOT of it to get a BFP and a good beta on Monday.
Drink up, girls. I've cleared the bar. If anyone feels like dancin, name your tune and get up there and dance!

Re: The Bar is OPEN!
HELLO!!!! I would love some of that special fertility-enhancing champagne (who woulnd't!) LOL!
The Pretenders are good...tattooed love boys!!
$$$: I'd like some bump power to ensure that my next u/s (on Tues) shows some great follies that are ready to go!
Have a fantabulous weekend ladies!!!
Perfect! It's cold here today in teh Mid Atlantic, so I would like a glass of red wine...maybe a pinot.
I need major bump power for my appointment on Monday morning...I'm having the NT scan to see what our odds are for down syndrome. I had a really, really high first beta, which could indicate down, so I'm a bit petrified. This pg just won't really seem real until we get through that.
[Climbing on the bar...Ahem...I would like to dedicate this song to all of my favorite TTC35+ girls...que the Pretenders' classic, "I'll Stand by You"] Happy Friday everyone!

Hey! I think you should "irish up" that coffee with a little Bailey's.
I am not much of a champagne girl, so I will have Stoli Raspberry Vodka and Sprite. Delish! Love the Pretenders, Brass in Pocket is one of my go to Karaoke songs. Chrissie Hynde is a goddess. Only women over 35 can appreciate this music.
I need Bump Power this week and next to get through the next 2 weeks of loneliness without my DH. Also if you could give me some extra to either O now so we can get it before he leaves or to hold off until he gets back. That would be great.
I need a double of todays fertility enhancing champagne!!!! (since its virtual drinks and i dont like champagne, but its fertility enhancing!) I need bump power to get through all the Fertility stuff we may be starting. Lots and lots of bump dust!!!
Have a nice weekend all!
Kristin
Mmmmm can I have a bottomless Mimosa made with fertility champagne?
Here's hoping everyone's bump wishes are fulfilled. I won't tap into the bump power this weekend, things are good with me. I'm testing next weekend so will beg for it then
Happy Friday
I'm in here early, it's 10:09 am - is that acceptable? LOL
Love The Pretenders! PP is right only us +35ers can appreciate Chrissie Hynde. You don't have to change the music, but I gotta say another favorite Diva from the 80's is Annie Lennox. Very strong women indeed, those two.
I'll have a few sips of the special fertility-enhancing champagne.
Bump power: I'd like some willpower to stay away from all the bad stuff I've been consuming. And maybe some SAAF vibes (stay away AF) too.
A bottomless Memosa sounds great with the fertility enhancing champaign...
I need bump power to help me make the next decision... I'll be 42 on the 18th and there is no end in sight to this cycle. I'm almost ready to give up on my body. I'm pretty sure early menopause has me in her grasp. So, I just need to make the call to the RE to discuss DE and that makes me very sad....
I'm thinking it's time for a nice red. And yes, my virtual drink will become a real one as I meet my friend for her birthday dinner tonight. My pg friend, I might add, so I will be drinking alone. ::sigh::
I could use some Bump Power for....well, I'm going to tell you what for in a separate post!
Good luck, girls, on your upcoming betas, ultrasounds, appointments, etc.
***grabs a stool at the bar***
I'll have a glass of the special, that fertility-enhancing champagne sounds good...and keep them coming please!
Like a pp, I need Bump Power this weekend to O now!! My DH is leaving for a work trip Sunday, gone till late Friday and afraid this month will be a bust otherwise.
Cheers ladies!
Wow, there's a lot of Bump Power in here!
It's bouncing off the disco ball!
Good idea! :::pours the 'Irish' into coffee:::
Love LOVE Annie Lenox, too.
Champagne sounds lovely and the music is perfect!
Joyful I'm sending you a ginormous cup o coffee and I'll even add Kalua or Baily's if you would like......whatever it takes to get through the 2ww.
Bump Power: Starting on Monday, it will be my 3rd follie check and I'm pretty sure I'll trigger that night....... I anticipate ER on Wed and then a 5dt.....
Good luck and bump power to everyone!
Wow lots of Pretenders fans! Love that! I still love the "Brass in Pocket" video with Chrissie as the waitress serving the boys.
Bartender Joy - I'll stick to a nice cold Corona with lime. Wishing you a pocketful of good luck wishes for your beta!
I could use bump power for a BFP. We are finally sitting back and not having TI but I just realized we did it this week exactly at the right time so there's always hope!
Really late to the party...I will have some champagne please.
Bump vibes: DH has is next atempt at frezzing his swimmers for IVF starting next cycle...lets hope they get enough to freeze..didn't happen last time.
::I have been in Alaska visiting DH but came home for three days now leave tomorrow for the 40th Bday trip with my high school girl friends:: too fun. So I will be MIA for a few more days.
Hugs and Bump vibes to all. Muah!
Yay for the bar! It has been an awful week here and I needs me some drinkz. I have been all torn up over the passing of a coworker's teen son. This is all over the national news, so no names will be mentioned here. I just can't think of much else. So tragic. Such a nice family. Impossible grief for them. Heartbroken.
I need bump power to get me to finally pick up the phone and call for that RE appt. I was going to do it Monday, but the news (above) from the weekend had my head elsewhere all week. I also need energy vibes. I am so tired right now and need the energy for some evening QT with mrhav2 to get this cycle in my favor.
I feel like dancing on the bar, but have no energy to get up there. Someone pass me a vodka and cranberry!
