A member asked:

Can i still take ibuprofen even when i'm just trying for a baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OK in early PG: This medication is considered category c in early pregnancy.This means no human studies suggest a negative effect on the fetus although animal studies may suggest problems. It switches to a d or unsafe in the last trimester.
