Hi EliB. I've been wondering this as well as I've been specifically prescribed aspirin as part of my IVF treatment and it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen but hasn't been mentioned by any of the press!

Great question! Many ppl get prescribed it as part of their protocol but you’re so right to ask with relation to corona. Defo one to ask your clinic!

Hi, can’t answer the aspirin question but just wanted to say that the advice I was given is you should not take ibuprofen whilst ttc (especially if doing ivf) or when pregnant. So irrespective of the dreaded virus I wouldn’t take it anyway if I were you.
