Is it OK to take cold and sinus medicine mid-IVF cycle?

I'm just on BCPs and Lupron (and my vitamins) and feel a sinus infection coming on.  Can I take OTC Advil Sinus?  I know I'm probably being crazy, but just thought I'd ask.

TIA!

I hear your pain. I haven't had a cold/sinus problem in over a year and of course I got one yesterday. I asked at the RE office today what I could and couldn't take because I was miserable. She said no Motrin/ibuprofen. All that is allowed is Tylenol. So, I picked up Tylenol sinus today. It really isn't helping:-(

Thanks!  I actually just looked at what I bought and it's CVS brand Tylenol Sinus.  Phew!  I probably would have cried if I couldn't take it.  And then blamed it on the Lupron ;-)  I hope you feel better soon!

My nurse said anything was fair game before ER but obviously only if you really think you need it. I'd still ask your doctor to be safe but I think it's fine! Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you!  I get such mixed messages - I should know better by now!  I talked to the pharmacy too - they said totally fine in terms of med interactions...  I think I'll take it tonite and hope that that's all I need....

How are you feeling?!

My nurse said the same thing. I was a bit sick last week and I called to see what (if anything) I could take. She said it was all good until ER.

 I was told the same thing. So far the only thing that seems to work at all for me is Extra Strength Tylenol Rapid Release Capsules. I swear, they actually work and they work fast!!

Thank you all! Hoping 2 days of possible nono meds prior to stimming gets me through this. I appreciate all your feedback!

How are you feeling?! 

I'm feeling pretty good today! Had an ultrasound yesterday, 17 follicles so far! I'm hoping it's a sign of good things to come! I hope the sinus med does the trick for you!
