I take it a lot, and had trouble conceiving, but that is a very tenuous link. I've been NTNP since my baby's birth 13 months ago, and no pregnancy. I may try knocking it off for a month or two and seeing if I have any better luck conceiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-339756 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 20:30:01 +0000 marionberry 339756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had never heard this. I had dental surgery recently and took advil and I occasionally take it for headaches. Maybe this is why I'm not pregnant?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338865 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:01:31 +0000 spaniellove 338865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that ibuprofen and other NSAIDS during TTC can cause LUFS, which makes it looks like you've ovulated (with a temp rise) but actually you don't ovulate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338853 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:54:23 +0000 Pepper 338853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Tylenol during the TWW, just in case. I was actually shocked at how well it works for me as a pain reliever! I always use ibuprofen (love my Advil liquid gels!), and I assumed nothing else would work as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338836 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:40:52 +0000 Grace 338836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'd never survive AF if I didn't take ibuprofen. I think I read something about it making O late, so I make sure I only take it during AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338775 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:59:31 +0000 kiddosc 338775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's some good ibuprofen during pregnancy info:<br /> <a href="http://www.otispregnancy.org/files/ibuprofen.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.otispregnancy.org/files/ibuprofen.pdf</a></p> <p>There hasn't been solid evidence that ibuprofen increases the risk of miscarriage. I would probably take tylenol instead, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338754 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:51:48 +0000 MamaMoose 338754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never took it during my TWW. I definitely wouldn't take it for pre menstrual cramps while TTC until you have actually confirmed that AF has arrived since the cramping could be implantation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338748 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:50:25 +0000 Ash 338748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know - Thanks ladies! I stopped taking it when I found out I had a BFP (we were NTNP) in August but then I ended up miscarrying in September. Just didn't know if that had something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338745 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:49:43 +0000 QBbride 338745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine until you're actually pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338658 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:10:06 +0000 Smurfette 338658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it when we were TTC. Just stopped once I found out I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338641 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:04:12 +0000 GreenThumb 338641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went through IVF and was told to take it just prior to my embryo transfer - like an hour before, so it can't be too bad while TTC. They did tell me not to take it after transfer though. Probably fine during the first half of your cycle, but maybe skip it during the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ibuprofen#post-338617 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:55:08 +0000 Ash 338617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone!</p> <p>So, not too long ago I came across an article saying ibuprofen is unsafe while TTC. I know it is avoided during pregnancy but it was news to me to be avoiding it beforehand. I use ib for headaches and AF cramps. Should I toss it if we're TTC?<br /> Thanks! </p>
