Paracetamol and ibuprofen while TTC!

[omikron]

I can't believe these common painkillers can affect fertility by up to 50%! Shocking!

Source?

"For those taking diclofenac, ovulation was reduced by an amazing 93%, whereas for both naproxen and etoricoxib, ovulation was reduced by about 75%," he says. "This was really a shocking finding."

And not a good idea when pregnant either

Why isn't this more widely known? Or perhaps it's just me that wasn't aware.

I've totally ditched every ibuprofen in the house.

I’m not surprised actually. I was on a daily maximum dose of Naproxen after an operation and I completely skipped a couple of periods. When I looked in to it some sites recommended taking a maximum daily dose of ibuprofen to delay periods.

Guess it's just never been on my radar to research

Does it affect men's fertility too?
