Re: **TTCAL check in**
Where are you in your cycle: CD13. RE says I should be Oing any day now! Had a 19mm follie on my scan yesterday.
What PNV and supplements (if any) are you taking: One a Day PNV with DHA, extra folic acid, calcium supplement
Any medications/monitoring/testing/etc this cycle: Any extra measures?: Using OPK's? Charting? Both?: Both! OPKs have been negative so far, but my temps are low, so hopefully it will be soon.

On the flip side... your worst moment: Had 3 cavities filled last night!
If you're in the 2ww, how was your timing? when are you testing?:

Any medications/monitoring/testing/etc this cycle: Any extra measures?: Using OPK's? Charting? Both?:
I'm temping and charting and kind of using OPKs but not enough to be an exact science. I had been taking lovenox during my pregnancy and then my OB/GYN suggested that I stay on it if we were considering TTC in the near future. I kept taking it up until last AF. I've stopped taking it thinking that maybe the reason we're not getting pregnant. I wasn't on it the first two times and we got pregnant. We'll see what happens this cycle.
