Anyone accidentally take ibuprofen before an IVF or FET?

So I've been miserable with asthma symptoms ever since I started taking Lupron on 8/5. Over the past week it's been particularly bad, sometimes if I get out of breath, I cough so hard and so much that I get a serious headache (almost muscular from all of the coughing), so I took some ibuprofen.

I'm sitting at my desk coughing up a storm (yes, I'm that annoying person at work Embarrassed) and just thought, oh, maybe I should take some more ibuprofen since my head is starting to hurt. And then it came back to me - wait, when am I supposed to avoid ibuprofen. And the answer is now because it can cause your lining to be thin.

Oh, and I have issues with thin linings, so I've been taking viagra suppositories since the end of AF. The last thing I need is to be taking something that counteracts my efforts!  

FML. I am so mad at myself for forgetting that and my RE for not reminding me!! Angry

Anyone here accidentally take ibuprofen and not end up with a sucky lining?

    I wouldn't think that one dose of ibuprofen would damage your lining.

    It wasn't a ton, but I've probably taken it 1-2x a day for 5 of the last 7 days.

    I am sure you are fine. No one ever told me no ibuprofen before FET. That is all i take so i know i did (bad estrace headaches) and my lining was fine.

    Hopefully it won't be an issue but I've stopped even having ibuprofen in my house to avoid problems like this.  My RE actually told me to stop taking it period because there's some evidence, according to him, that it also impedes ovulation.

    I am pretty sure that I took some during my IVF cycle because I was never told not to until after the ET.
