Sleep meds?

NeeseyNeesey member
in Trouble TTC
We are most likely looking at IUI #7 on Saturday morning and of course that's the day that FIL and SIL and her two kids and two dogs decided would be a good time for a visit.  I won't go into too many details about why this pisses me off but the one I'm most worried about is sleeping.  I usually take an Advil PM so I can sleep through FIL's snoring and the kids' constant screaming.  I obviously don't want to take that after IUI but not sleeping for their three day visit isn't an option either.  I though about going to sleep at my parents' house but I don't want the family drama that will cause.  Are there any sleeping aids that are safe in the 2WW?  I'm going to ask at my appointment on Friday but I want to have them on hand when they arrive.

    Not 100% sure, but I think you can take Tylenol PM, its just the Tylenol and benadryl, which is category B...but I would double check with your RE. They gave me a whole list when I started seeing them,  but I'm bumping from work and dont have it with me.

    ETA: I'll look when I get home tonight and update.

    I'd ask them if it's OK to take Melatonin.  I've heard it's safe to take while pregnant so you should be fine.  Since it is a hormone produced naturally by your body...it's sold over the counter as like an herbal supp I believe.  I'd just get the OK from the RE and ask what dose is safe.  

    Also ask them about Tylenol PM since we're always told Tylenol is safe during 2ww, I'd want to know if what is added to the PM version is safe.  It's worth an ask, right?  Oh and buy some ear plugs!

    Good luck, hope you get some decent sleep!

    I have some earplugs but I'd have to stick the entire package in my ears to not hear them!

     Thanks for the drugs to ask about!

    I believe that you can take Tylenol PM. I would double check with you RE. I know you can take it if you are pregnant.

    Yep, my list said it was fine as well, but I have also heard that melatonin is good as well.

    Skip the Tylenol PM and just take a regular Benadryl.  That's the one part that will help you sleep & it's supposed to be fine during pregnancy.
