painkillers when TTC?

bethany-wood · Nov 22nd, 2009, 10:42 AM

Hey,

just got me and ever since I've come off my pill it's been agony every month

i was wondering if painkillers effect fertility. I'm trying not to take any

On the box it says not to take them if your pregnant or TTC. Looks like I'll just have to deal with the

evil cramps?

I'm trying not to do anything bad to my fertility from now on

Onto cycle 11 i go.

What pain relief are you using? xx

My Dr told me to only take Paracetamol.

Nothing right now because I don't want to bring my fertility down at all next month, not even a teeny bit haha

and i was going to have just your average ibuprofen. Apparently it effects implantation.

Paracetamol is better then Ibuprofen and watch out for added caffeine.

Yeah, I've heard ibu's aren't a good idea. I used to use them, but I take paracetamol now, but during the 2WW I use nothing (just in case). Even cough medicine can cause problems apparently! I hope your cramps ease off soon and that number 11 is your lucky number

yea i am an exclusive ibuprofen user too.. and it stinks because I had to take 4 of them a few days ago I have TMJ and it was to painful to cope.

but while a few studies showed ibuprofen to be linked to early miscarriage and problems with implantation and ovulation several other studies have no shown that link, not enough studies have been done to either confirm or debunk this.

I figured the stress from being in that much pain was just as likely to effect my odds of a sticky bean
