NSAID; OVULATION/MENSES/INFERTILITY

NSAID works mostly by blocking a particular pathway

This pathway is needed to achieve ovulation, if blocked, a ripe follicle may not OVULATE leading to Luteinized Unruptured Follicle(LUF)/other mild dysfunction

Consistent use of NSAID is discouraged among women trying to get pregnant STOP IT.

For those using NSAID for few days for MENSTRUAL PAIN, you have already OVULATED before the period, so except your cycle is very short, NSAID shouldn't affect your MENSES/OVULATION/FERTILITY
For those using NSAID consistently for other medical conditions, they are more at risk, treat underlying cause/find an alternative drug/therapy

Pls note if you have ovulation/menstrual disorders/ fertility issues, you cannot assume it is only NSAID, Consult a specialist
