Hopefully not a stupid question, but probably is...
What is the 2WW?

No...don't be embarrased. I'm not exactly sure that's what it is...I know it's 2 weeks...but 2 weeks from when?

You mean (you count) the 1st day of AF, right?
So 2WW basically means = your waiting for the perfect timing to BD again?

Re: Hopefully not a stupid question, but probably is...
I didnt know any of the TTC lingo before coming onto these boards many moons ago - so don't feel badly!
The "2WW" is the approximate timeframe that begins on the day you believe you ovulated, and ends when your AF is due to arrive (or hopefully doesn't arrive  ). It's not exactly "2 weeks" for everyone, that is an approximation. For some ladies your luteal phase (a more tehcnical name for that timeframe) can range anywhere from 10-16 days depending on your own cycle.
Some fun things to do during the 2WW are: obsess over all the symptoms you are feeling; analyze those symptoms to try and determine if they indicate PMS or pregnancy ("my boobs hurt -- am I or am I not PG?"); and thinking to yourself "how soon can I pee on a stick" and take a HPT to find out if you are or are not PG
Hope that helped! I've been in far too many 2WWs over the time I was TTC so I know how frustrating it is (and somehow it feels like MANY more days than 2 weeks! !)
