Tired of hiding behind a different screenname

When I originally began TTC, I never thought it would take this long. I was also raised that it's something to be very private about. I come from a superstitious family who would never tell anyone they were PG until after the first trimester. As such, I didn't want to use my real name to post about TTC.

Now, however, after so many months, and after getting so much support from the ladies on this board, I am tired of hiding. All my close girlfriends know I am TTC, as do some work friends. They know about my m/c too. What am I hiding from? I'm also sick of logging out and back in with a different SN to post on this board.

So, to reintroduce myself, I am Jackie, known on this board as secretlyttc. I am 30 years old, and was an '04 bride on LIW.

We have been TTC since last March, had a M/C at 5.5 weeks at the beginning of June. Started trying again at the end of August, but have only had 2 cycles since then, b/c my cycles are long. Had a +OPK on CD 21 this time, but am currently on CD 51, with three BFNs, and have been feeling like AF is coming all week. Just want to move on to the next cycle.

I'm happy to be "out" and will probably be posting more frequently now.
