Can decongestants affect conception?

I'm very early in my TTC journey and just found out that it's not good to take decongestants during pregnancy as it thins the lining of the uterus. I took two Max flu and cold lemsip tablets yesterday when I was 4dpo. Really hope it doesn't interfere with my chances of conceiving. Has anyone else taken decongestants when trying to conceive or while pregnant?

I wouldn't worry. Typically high concentrations over prolonged period are needed to cause side effects for over the counter medicines.

@Outliers Thank you! Google always makes it sound more scary than it is.
