Anadin Ibuprofen during treatment - Worried

Post by a&p »

Hi Ladies

Need a bit of reassurance that i haven't messed up this IVF cycle.

I'm on day 4 of stimms (Menopur). On day 2 i got an almighty headache so i took 2 Anadin Ibuprofen. Since then i've read on the internet that you should only take Paracetamol as anything else can interfere with the treatment. I wasn't told this by the nurse. Going for a scan on Wednesday but don't really want to spend the next 4 days worrying that i've messed up our 1 and only chance.

Please put my mind at rest. :(

Hi A&P. I really wouldn't worry about it. I did the same internet research at one point, and did switch from ibuprofen to paracetamol, but I did get the feeling that the real worry was if you took a lot. I'm sure two wouldn't make any difference. You weren't told about it by the nurse BECAUSE it's not a huge deal.

If I were you, I just resolve to take paracetamol if you get more headaches. Good luck - hope you produce lots of lovely little follicles!

Thank you for your replies. Spoke to the nurse this morning who said it was fine to take Anadin. Think i'll stick to paracetamol though just incase.

Thankyou both again :D
