Pain relief when on injections

Hey all, I've just started my 1st round of ICSI. 1 injection down and I'm on the short protocol so only 11 days ish of injections. Does anyone know what pain relief is OK to use whilst on the medication? I'm OK now but prone to extensive migraines so not sure what is safe to take if one comes on. I read somewhere to avoid ibuprofen and aspirin. Is paracetamol OK? Xx sooooo dreading starting cetrotide on Monday! The needle looks huge and I'm needle phobic!

Ibuprofen is fine up until transfer

Paracetamol is fine any time

Aspirin is best avoided because it's a blood thinner.
