Should I take Ibupfrofen?

I'm not pregnant but ttc!! I have a horrible headache,  severe! I'm 7dpo and tylenol does not do anything for me. It should not matter right?

Call your doctor and ask. Also the headache might be a good sign. I am not sure if you can take ibuprofen, but Tylenol is the safest. SSBD to you.  Looks like it's your time. Good luck!

Sorry about the headache - I get migraines and have had two, since 7 days post transfer - i'm now pregnant!!
I haven't taken any meds - didn't want to risk anything - even though it's been quite unbearable - I put my head on a hot water bottle - and lie in the dark - Good luck!

hey there .. google ibuprofen and ovulation .. there are some interesting facts that no one tells us about .. it can delay ovulation .. make it hard for the follicles to release the egg and can cause irritation to the uterus so can hinder implantation .. I get headaches too but have to do lots of stretching and massage to try to help it.

If you are seriously ttc I would steer clear of it .. not a fertility friendly drug!!  7 dpo is just when the little embie is trying to burrow into the lining so you don't want anything to potentially damage that lining.

saying that .. I do know someone who took it when she didn't know she was pg and was fine .. but better to be safe

My doctors told me not to take ibuprofen. I'm only allowed take paracetemol.. I don't have a headache though, only cramping. I also live in Spain so the advice can be different depending on the country!
