T minus 10 days and waiting

Things will probably be pretty boring here for a while. I'm now officially in what my email girlfriends call "the two week wait" (2WW). Usually ovulation occurs 14 days before the start of a woman's period, so the 2 weeks after ovulation, or after IUI, or in my case, after retrieval, when we wait impatiently to find out if we are pregnant, are called the 2WW. Fortunately for IVF patients, the 2WW starts on retrieval day, since retrieval and IVF take the place of ovulation and "natural" fertilization. So by the time I had my transfer yesterday and got my 3 embryos, my 2WW is 1/4 over already. Yippee! Only 10 days to go.
