IVF RETRIEVAL TOMORROW- Slight FEVER and HEADACHE

September 08, 2008

I am running a low grade fever 99.5

and my retreval is tomorrow,

I also have a headache- stress no less

I do not have tylenol in the house

Can I take Ibuprofen??

NO DON'T TAKE IBUPROFEN!!! They told me only tylenol. Ibuprofen thins the blood and you don't want that. They told me no more of anything but Tylenol, sorry!! The fever I don't think is bad at 99.5 but do take it easy. The doc's office told me to keep an eye on it and to call them if it reached 100.4, I got up to 99.9 if I remember correctly. You will feel better tomorrow because it really isn't bad at all and the nurses will make you feel at ease :O) WISHING YOU THE VERY VERY BEST OF LUCK, PLEASE KEEP US POSTED!!!

Caryn, I'd hold off on any meds if you can, try drinking lots of fluids to stay hydrated and go lay down. Try and relax, I know you're excited, worried, stressed. It'll all be okay! (((hugs)))

Well I am only getting this now- I did take IBU.. I could not stand it anymore. and it was the only thing we had but now I feel better- fever broke too.. It will be out of my system by the morning and I will not take any more...I will tell them when I get in there in the morning..just so they are aware

I wish I had read this sooner.. My head felt like it was being squeezed by a vice.. I had to do something.. oh boy, oh well :(
