Neither: No, neither should affect your ability to conceive. Use both medications sparingly.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safer: I advise all my patients who are pregnant or trying to conceive to stop ibuprofen. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is a better option. I also advised avoiding aspirin unless you have a history of poor pregnancy outcomes such as severe hypertension. Try to stay hydrated and find other ways to cope with pain such as surrounding yourself with positive influences.
