Can I safely take Advil during 2ww?

luckymrs.luckymrs.
in TTC After a Loss

I usually swear off all drugs (OTC included) if I can avoid it, but I really need to get my knee feeling better and Advil has been suggested.

I O'd yesterday and am not willing to risk reducing the odds of fertilization or implantation.

Has anyone heard of any medical facts saying Advil (or other anti-inflammatory drugs) can possibly affect fertilization or implantation success?

TIA for any input.

    Advil, motrin - anything with ibuprofin is a blood thinner and you should not take during pregnancy or in the 2 ww.  At least I won't - I only take it when I get AF for cramps.  You can take Tylenol - that's all.  Hope your knee is better soon.

    I would assume that it is okay, but... knowing what I know about advil I wouldn't risk it. I'd take tylenol if I were you.

    I don't know, which means I would take Tylenol to be on the safe side.

    I am the biggest Hmm when it comes to people being overly cautious in the 2ww but if there is ONE thing I won't do, it's take ibuprofen.

    And it's an anti inflammatory.  The TTC process we WANT the inflammation, (lining, ovaries, follies) so anti inflammatories are anti - TTC

    ETA - Tylenol is OK to use!

    My OB told me not to take ibuprofen while TTC.  That is pretty much the only thing she specifically told me to avoid.

    My OB does a lot of research work and he said that there are recent studies that show that ibuprofen can deter implantation and ovulation.

    It's been said already but opt for tylenol instead of ibuprofen (advil)
