Taking Ibuprofen while TTC?

[curious]

Hi everyone, I recently heard that taking ibuprofen can interfere with TTC I did not know that or if it's even true. I suffer from migraines so i take them every so often. I take them like about three times a month. Do you think that is too much? I don't take anything else because ibuprofen is the only thing that seems to help. Thanks

I don't know the specifics but I try not to take ibuprofen during my two week wait because it has been known to interfere with implantation. I try to take tylenol instead..but you might check with your dr. about your migranes and see what medicine is best when ttc.

Good luck!

When TTC, it's best to act like your already pregnant. Eat like you would if you were, take the meds that are only suitable for pregnancy, and even take prenatals. IBprofen is NOT good for baby, and so there fore it's not good for TTC. I was the same way, ibp is the only thing that worked for me for anything. Buuut I found tylenol rapid release gels, they're a little on the expensive side, buuut they work for me. And they're safe for pregnancy. Since I started acting like I was pregnant, I got pregnant. I'm now 10 wks and my diet hasn't changed since before I got preggers. Except for I throw up about 25% of what I DO eat! Oh and dairy is out of the question for me now too Cereal was my favorite food.. now it's bad. LoL. Good luck and lots and lots of baby dust!
