TYLENOL when TTC

[G_S]

Hi Is it fine to have tylenol when trying to conceive? I am Femara and have been having terrible headaches...I have been trying to avoid taking any OTC, however this is too bad and I cant call the doc as it is night...please advise if it is fine to take 2 tablets of Tylenol Extra strength along with Femara or au recommend something else?

Thank you babywanted. Makes me feel less guilty on having popped 2 last night :)

I'm taking tylenol almost every day, so I ask my RE couple times about it.  For sure, tylenol is safe.  Do not take any pain pills related to asprin, motrin.....it will cause you bleeding or blood thinning/clotting.....

candie429: Oh!! So Femara is the curprilt...no wonder I have been having these headaches since the last 2 days...yesterday's was intolerable...I applied Balms, seltp but it did not help.
So gulped down 2 tabs and feel better today. Thanks for asking


Sheri : Even though the baby is not attached, I have heard of some effects of some meds like Asprin, Aleve, ibrufen, etc on ur hormones, blood thinning/clotting, ovulation. And since I seem to have ovulation probs, I have become a lil more cautious.

My doc okays all sorts of things when TTC.  Prior to implantation, if you happened to get pregnant, the baby isn't sharing your blood supply so it wouldn't be exposed to the Tylenol anyway.  My doc let me take Vicodin this month the day of IUI/ovulation.

As far as I know, Tylenol is safe while TTC.  I have even heard of doctors saying it's OK while pregnant.  I feel your pain in that I get pretty bad headaches with the Femara too.  I've read that this is one symptom that is definitely stronger with Femara than Clomid.  We'll see if anyone else has some input on this.  Hope you feel better!
