The bloody windows are the biggest cause of office politics at our place, some people are constantly freezing and others always boiling. We don't even have air con to keep us cool!

DisneyDiva87 · 17/07/2013 15:44

One of the guys beside the window made a big fuss about sitting by the window when we were moving desks even though I wanted to sit there because if I get a migraine I like a breath of fresh air. He got the window seat and he closes it any time I open it. It really pisses me off, why choose to sit at a window if you never want it open?! Thankfully in the roasting hot temperatures he has acquiesced and leaves the window open. Just means I get more breaks to have a wee walk outside to clear my head so it's not all bad I suppose.

Can I jump aboard? I've just poas 11dpo and bfn so will await Af arrival and join you lovely August bunch if that's ok?

DisneyDiva87 · 17/07/2013 17:44

Hmmm... I don't know...

Only joking

Of course you can join, silly. Let us know your details when you know and we'll add you to the list

Maybe that's precisely why he insisted on a window seat, so he could control it! Weird! I have one at the moment but were gonna get moved around soon so will lose it. Fortunately the person going in my seat is someone who like open, I like fresh air even when its colder so the office doesn't get all stuffy and smelly!

Welcome tea, hope you get a late july bfp but if not you can join us dead certs in august!

roodles84 · 17/07/2013 20:22

I'll hop on board too if there's still a spare seat!

ttc#1, cycle 2, bfp due 14th Aug

Terramirabilis · 17/07/2013 22:35

Budge up roodles. Is there room for one more?

TTC #1, cycle 2, bfp due approx 16th Aug (slightly irregular cycle so hard to be totally certain when to say it's due).

Lavenderspink · 18/07/2013 07:07

Space for me too?
ttc#2 cycle 3 bfp due 3 August
Cd14 and 3rd day of flashing smiley on CB opk ... Kind of smeping too

Am still breastfeeding dd - at 18 months and I'm hoping that doesn't affect my chances as I love feeding her, she's such a daddy's girl, feeding her is the only time she is quiet and cuddly with me. Anyway plan is to feed her until she decides she doesn't want to anymore ... Don't offer don't refuse and all that.

I have a feeling this is a lucky bus ... Spring babies for everyone :) xxx

Vikkijayne2507 · 18/07/2013 07:27

Well im still here and I think i am an August bus after all as I still havent ovd i dont think and now i dont know whats going on with my cycle i was hoping they would be nice and settled after the pill. First month off properly last month and all seemed fine but its getting delayed :(

Ninunina · 18/07/2013 09:26

Welcome to the August bus ladies! wishing everyone lots of luck and lots of shagging Grin
I'm trying out SMEP this month (cycle 2). It worked brilliantly last time I tried it and resulted in dd so here's hoping. So far so good. ..been DTD every other day, now we need to DTD every night for the next few days! I'd better conserve my energy Wink
Anyone trying anything new this month? I remember reading something about drinking a certain juice increases CM (can't remember if it was grapefruit juice or pineapple juice though), also remember sonething about eating Brazil nuts in the 2ww cos it is high in selenium.

I heard grapefruit juice Ninunina to increase CM.

I'm thinking of proposing SMEP to hubby if we don't conceive this month

Hello August bus! Af is just buggering off so can I jump on pls?

I bring fruit pastille lollies and 99s from the handily placed ice cream van. Who wants one?

Pixie001 ttc#1 cycle 12 bfp 10 Aug.

Going to be a busy month for us as hopefully moving house Smile so should keep me occupied with something other than ttc for a change! although I'm sure I'll still obsess!

onelittlepiglet · 18/07/2013 14:08

Hello, just popping over from the july bus as I think I will be joining you I the next day or so as AF is due tomorrow or sat and I'm definitely not pg this month.

Just out of interest, are any of you following any special diets or doing anything differently or getting your partners to do anything differently? I know changes for men take three months to have any affect on sperm but thought it might be worth making changes sooner rather than later.

Nope, we aren't making any changes while TTCing - other than me taking folic acid that is.

OP posts:
Ninunina · 18/07/2013 14:16

Just looking at the list and lavenderspink's name is missing from the list. Can someone add it since I'm on my phone. Her details are right after mine (bfp due 3rd August)

lindamagoo · 18/07/2013 14:20

I think you ladies should try using conceive plus lubricant around ov time, meant to really help the little swimmers reach their goal and keeps more of them inside you Smile Just a wee suggestion for you all Smile

Ninunina · 18/07/2013 14:24

I'm not doing anything different other than folic acid, though a healthy diet is always recommended if you're having trouble getting pregnant. My friend made some drastic changes when she did ivf. She ate clean, did lots of exercise and limited cigarettes and alcohol (I think she said something about avoiding white wine ). Her husband made some changes too and apparently it made a big difference to his sperm quality.

DisneyDiva87 · 18/07/2013 15:13

Sorry Lavenderspink, I guess I got over excited. Thanks Ninunina

Pixie001 fruit pastille lolly for me please!

This month, we will mostly be dtd every other day. After years of using condoms, we're enjoying going, ahem, au naturale, so we'll be getting busy regardless of ov timing!

Hendricks · 18/07/2013 17:30

Hi, can I join in please?

I'm a long term lurker, but first time poster. We're going to see what happens for now seeing as that's what worked before. Best start on the folic acid though.

Hendricks TTC#3 cycle 1 Due 13th Aug

DisneyDiva87 · 18/07/2013 17:39

Good luck Hendricks and welcome Grin I henceforth forbid you to keep lurking.
