Hi ladies! Hope it's okay that I'm posting here, I didn't see a new newbie thread for this week! I posted here regularly from last March-Octoberish, and took a break for a few months when we were delayed starting fertility testing. I felt totally in limbo and just needed to step away for a bit but think it makes sense to start posting again. I've been lurking and have been happy to see some grads! I see a lot of new names too so thought I should do a full re-intro.

Ages (you and SO): 35 and 41

How many months have you been TTC?: since July 2018

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: We're benched right now because we were in Costa Rica for Christmas, so we have to hold off until late March/April as a precaution for Zika. But SO finally had his SA last week which came back normal, I'm waiting for AMH results and have an ultrasound this week. Also had some other testing done a year ago and those were fine so so far it's a mystery. In general when we've been trying I've been doing OPKs, CM and taking prenatals.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): No kids or pets, I write for a political news website and SO works in education and theater. We live in New England. I love reading and just joined a book club, yoga, cooking, movies, finding new restaurants, and exploring our city/surrounding area where we've lived for about 2.5 years after many years in NYC. I'll probably be posting in the infertility testing/treatment thread right now...oh and I'll try to get on as much as possible but as I've vented to @mvt2003, I'm in an open layout at work so might be an early morning/evening poster! Look forward to reconnecting, and meeting all the new people!

Welcome back @whitealbum29! I was missing you when we were reviewing the classic moments from 2019 recently. I hope it will feel like you’re cleared quickly from Zika.

@mvt2003 Hiiiiii friend!!!  Yes I was honestly surprised by the result! Definitely good news, if not very illuminating about what's up!

@keikilove Thank you! Yeah, that thread was part of why I was like "I really need to get back on the board!"
