Ibuprofen Use While trying to Get Pregnant [posted 10/13/98] Question: I get frequent migraine headaches and find that Ibuprofen is the only thing that helps. I usually only take one tablet (200 mg)every two or three weeks when it’s bad. On the package it is recommended that this drug not be used during pregnancy. What about while I’m trying to get pregnant? Is there any risk in using this tablet in early pregnancy, before I even know I’m pregnant? Or should I avoid taking any tablets if there is a possibility that I am pregnant? If I get pregnant, is there any particular part of the pregnancy that it is particularly unwise or definitely Ok to take a tablet? Answer: The reason not to use any of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories is the potential effect on different fetal tissues.
