When will you begin Lovenox?

Hey all that are or will be needing to use Lovenox to prevent blood clotting.  My hemotologist and RE want me to start Lovenox 5 days before my transfer (whenever that will be).

 Is anyone out there on it before this point?  I'm just curious if this could help increase my blood flow, helping with my lining issue, if I started it earlier in my cycle.

    We don't do IVF, but I start lovenox 3dp trigger shot, which is about 1dpo. The idea is to try and start before implantation happens, so that the likelihood of tiny clots forming at implantation is reduced.

    I start Lovenox whenever I start meds so, usually cd3.  For fresh cycles, I take it until 2 days (I think) before ER than resume taking it the day after.  For FETs, I started it with estrogen and stayed on it the entire time.

    If I were taking any kind of meds (birth control pills, clomid, estrogen, gonal-f, etc.)  I would start the Lovenox when I started those.  I'm on baby aspirin daily and my doc thinks that enough if we're just trying on our own but I like the idea of starting it after I know I've ovulated because I think perhaps it helps with implantation.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
