Hi Teresa,
After 3 days of some INTENSE cramping pain... it's finally over! But at
any rate, my doc said no Ibuprofen - not really saying if it's okay to
take it occassionally - just no ibuprofen. She said if I am in pain,
take extra strength tylenol. It's possible that I misunderstood her, so
I would ask your doctor before taking it with Yasmin. Ibuprofen was my
pain reliever of choice as well, but I stopped taking it b/c of doc's
warnings. The extra strength tylenol also was not helping me... so I
took Alieve and that works good and has no ibuprofen in it.
