Painkillers after FET

Had FET a week ago and have come down with a nasty cold. What pain killers are safe to take?????

After my transfer was told paracetamol is ok, but no aspirin or ibuprofen. You could always check with a pharmacist.

Thanks-tried phoning IVF clinic but phone lines close at 5pm 🥰

Oh no how annoying! I got a cold after ET too.

Unfortunately u can only take paracetamol for pain but u can have throat lozenges for ur throat/cough if needed! Just make sure u get plenty of fluids in!

I had a shocking cough/chest infection and my doctor prescribed me a special cough mixture which was safe but there isn’t much else! Don’t worry thought even with all my coughing it didn’t affect my embryo and I got a BFP!

Good luck x

Thanks-I am sneezing so violently that I keep panicking the embryo will end up being dislodged 😫😫😫

I was told no ibuprofen and I suppose cold and flu tablets would be a no because I’m sure most have caffeine in them 🤔

Good point - hadn't thought of caffeine x
