Not aspirin. i generally only took paracetemol, which is known to be safe.

Hi Filmgirl101. “Flowergirl” is right – definitely no aspirin unless prescribed. Paracetamol is always the first choice for any pain relief, unless you cannot take it for any reason, then you would need to see your GP. As you are on a high dose of Gonal F, make sure you drink plenty of water too. Good luck! Diane

Was prescribed naproxen, reg doc said he wasn't certain how it affects fertility...

Definitely not Ibuprofen either. Doctor told me it's harmful once you're pregnant.
