Took decongestants and ibuprofen not knowing I was pregnant, worried

Hi all. DH and I have been TTC for 7 months. I haven't really been tracking this month though as I've been very ill with the flu and a sinus infection, and obviously taking medication like decongestants, paracetamol, and ibuprofen to help relieve symptoms. We only managed to DTD just once this cycle, again because I've been so poorly. So hopes weren't high for this cycle. You can see where this is going 😆

Just had a positive test this morning, much to my delight and shock! Now I'm worried about the amount of medication I've taken that aren't recommended in pregnancy. I'm still very early (around 4 weeks), but I've previously had two losses so I'm already anxious.

Please don’t worry. It will not make a difference, i have numerous friends who didn’t find out until they were later on and took these in pregnancy and both mum and baby were fine
