Advil and trying TTC

Hi I have been reading posts on this board for about 2 months and have found the information so valuable and I was hoping to get some feedback on something that is worrying me. I just read the article on painkillers and trying to conceive. My husband and I are both healthy 26 year old non smokers. I was on the birth control pill for 7 years and stopped taking it last month and had one period off of the pill and now my husband and I are trying to get pregnant this month. I took 2 advil on Saturday because I had a terrible headache. I knew that painkillers should be avioded during pregnancy but I never thought about the 2 advil I took. Now I am terribly worried. My first cycle off this pill was 31 days long, my period ended August 13th so I don't think I was ovulating on Saturday August 16th when I took the advil. DO you think that taking the two Advil hurt my chances of getting pregnant this month? I haven't had any alcohol or caffiene in two months and now I am worried that the advil ruined my chances.

I would appreciate any feedback, maybe I am overreacting but I have been trying so hard to do everything right.

I read the article too. I doubt taking Advil this one time, on a "non-fertile" day, would impact your chances. Just try to stop worrying and just avoid the Advil in the future.

Good luck to you!
