Just curious if you all continue to take ibuprofen and other "not baby safe" medication while you're ttc? I've never really thought about it before, but I've got myself a raging headache at the moment and all I have in the office advil...

    I don't take Advil in the TWW. I am very paranoid about medications in the first place.

    Generally it's advised to avoid ibuprofen/advil at least around and after ovulation. Tylenol is the safer choice at those times. Some women use ibu during their period, but some avoid it altogether while TTC.

    Exactly what @gscoville said. I use it for cramps while I have my period, but I definitely do not use it around or after ovulation. Ibuprofen can interfere with implantation according to what I've read.

    I have completely cut ibuprofen out of my life for the past 3 months - which sucks.

    I haven't taken ibuprofen in years. When my exH was having a medical procedure it almost got cancelled because he had taken ibuprofen a few days prior. It's a blood thinner, and they were worried about his ability to clot.

    Tylenol has been my go to since then. I never have to worry about where I am in my cycle to take it.

    I'm not big on taking anything if I don't have to normally. I usually take tylenol if I really need it. Last night I took a couple of aspirin because I had a headache I just couldn't shake. We were out of tylenol. Sometimes you just gotta.
