In process of IVF/What pain meds can I use?

Hi Ladies,
I know someone has the answer and I think I know but I just want to double check.  I am in the process of IVF and I am on the stimulating meds now.  I am experiencing some headaches and cramping.  Nothing to bad but I wanted to know if it was ok for me to take Ibuprofin, or is Tylenol the only thing.  I think I took Ibuprofin when I was pregnant but I din't remember.  Any advice will help.  Thanks!!!!!!

My RE allows Advil up to 7th day of stims.  I think it's b/c of those terrible headaches you get while your E2 is rising.. but they do go away when they reach a certain point  :)
