New girl on the block!

in Trouble TTC
Hi folks, I've been TTC for 2 years now, the whole time sure I'd get pregnant eventually and rely on the support of my DH until then, but no more. I appreciate all the support you guys give each other and realize I need to reach out.
DH and I were both "accidents" and like a lot of you, thought we'd get a BFP right away. No such luck. My HSG and other tests have come back normal, so now just waiting on DHs tests.
I don't have many close female friends and most of them have no interest in kids, so I have felt pretty alone in this. I also work in an office with about 30 women in their 20s-30s, so I feel like I'm always hearing about another pregnancy.
Anyway, I'm hoping that you lovely people will help me get through this and I can help some of you too.
My favorite color was always purple and my spirit animal is a turtle, so...
