Cortisone Question

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is have a wonderful weekend. I have a quick question and not sure if anyone has the answer. I am going to an orthopedic doctor Monday due to what my PCP believe is trochanteric burstis (tendonitis of the hip) because 4 doses of 3 Advil a day for one week did not do the trick and she said a cortisone shot is most likely the next step. Based on the research I have done, nothing states that it is unsafe during an IVF cycle or pregnancy. I do not know what my orthopedist is going to say and if he is going to agree with my PCP and I do plan on calling my nurse at the RE's office to check.

If you have any insight and are willing to share it is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    You should be fine with the cortisone. However Advil is an NSAID and all NSAIDs have a blood thinning effect which would not be safe for use before or after egg retrieval. Good luck with your IVF cycle and your ortho appointment!
