It's always best to stay away from meds if you think you could be pg (especially in early pregnancy), but if you feel you need it then consult your medication's literature and call your Dr. HTH!
Here are a few websites that you may want to check out, mostly what is safe during pregnancy & breastfeeding (which you can translate to safe during TTC):

Aleve http://www.safefetus.com/DrugDetail.asp?DrugId=236&TradeName=Aleve&TradeId=4295
Zytec http://www.safefetus.com/DrugDetail.asp?DrugId=92&TradeName=Zyrtec&TradeId=854
Tylenol is safe during pregnancy so I would use that instead of the aleve.
Some people argue anything is safe prior to O but not after O, KWIM, I just try to stay away from stuff all month.
