A recent study has suggested there might be a link between the use of painkillers such as ibuprofen during pregnancy with a higher rate of miscarriages:

I knew about taking Tylenol instead of Ibu while pg, but while TTC I've still been taking ibu.

I've still been taking ibuprofen as well! I hate tylenol and am not looking forward to being stuck with it when I get preg.
