Is it true you shouldn't take ibprofen while ttc?!

I have only heard (via the interwebz, not from my doctor) that it should be avoided around the time of potential implantation.

I have heard it came thin the lining for implantation as well. I used to take it a lot and switched to Tylenol if need be the last few cycles just in case.

I can tell you when I took it during the first 2 weeks my lining would not be as thick as when I did not take it

No Ibuprofen in the 2WW and RE's will rec that you not take it at all while you are TTC because they tend to err more on the side of caution. You can't take while you are pregnant, anything that should be avoided during pregnancy, should technically be avoided in the 2ww.

Thanks for all the info- I also read it can affect ovulation/implantation

According to my RE you should not use any NSAIDs near the time of ovulation.  There have been studies that show NSAID use can cause temporary infertility (originally primarily linked to implantation failure - need some inflammation to have implantation) and I was recently shown an article about a study that shows NSAIDs can cause delays in ovulation.  

I am on indomethacin for AS.  I had not taken it in years because you aren't supposed to take it while pregnant, I didn't want to take anything more than the bare minimum while breastfeeding and because of the concerns associated with taking NSAIDs while TTC.  After my last two failed IVF cycles, I spoke to my RE about starting it up again.  She said to stop taking it before O and wait until AF arrives to start again if we wanted to continue to TTC on our own while we were trying to decide what we want to do next.
