Ibuprofen VS Acetaminophen

This topic has probably already been discussed before I joined but What is your take on these two medicines and TTC.

I take advil when I have any kind of pain especially headaches because it works better for me than tylenol. However, I try to stop taking advil once my tww begins.

I do worry that the ibuprofen could effect the early stage of pregnancy if I conceive but maybe it doesn't...

Let me know what you all think. Is it ok to keep taking ibuprofen until you know you are pregnant or is it best to play it safe and switch to Acetaminophen?

Thanks!

I've always taken Motrin when ttc and never had any issues. I do stop usage by 5 dpo, but it's not something I take daily, so I don't stress about it if I have to take it a cpl times a month. After 5 dpo I switch to Tylenol...which I HATE cuz it doesn't work. Everyone has a diff take on it tho, go with what ur comfortable with! =))

That's how I feel about tylenol too. It does nothing for me. And I agree, if you only take it once in awhile, it should be okay in the early stages. Thanks for your input! Baby Dust!

Don't take anything containing ibuprofen when trying to conceive as it can affect implantation and could cause a loss because it promotes bleeding
