Thanks all! I have been taking mucinex and Advil cold & sinus. Still feel crappy but better than without the meds.

I was in your same position two weeks ago. Really sick but too scared to take anything, so I didn't. Now, two weeks later, I have a bad sinus infection and I just got my period. Kind of wish I had tried to nip it in the bud sooner, especially now that I know i wasn't even pregnant. I will also say, though, when I finally went to the doctor and expressed my concern, my nurse practicioner also said it was fine to take medicine that early in the game.

good luck!

My RE, OB/Gyn and GP have all told me that it's ok to proceed as normal until a BFP. I think you are ok to take some meds. Good luck!

It's totally fine. Take the meds. Feel better.

Go ahead and take something. Many people take things without realizing their pregnant and things work out fine. I had a night out of wine and cigarettes before realizing I was pregnant with DD - who is totally fine developmentally (pretty smart, actually).

I just ovulated, according to cervical mucus, bbt, and OPK. With any luck, we timed things correctly and maybe I'm pregnant. I am also sick.. Sore throat, aches, sinus congestion, feel awful. I have been doing nasal sinus rinse, head over steaming bowl of water, etc. can I take Advil or Advil cold and sinus? The nurse at my GP's office said it was fine, but I'm not sure. If conception occurred, wouldn't this be a very vulnerable time to be taking meds?

We are TTC again after two m/c and I am afraid to do anything to harm the (possible) embryo. But I'd like to do something to get rid of these aches.
