Yes, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen before a hysteroscopy with local anesthesia to help with cramping. It's generally recommended to take them 1 hour before the procedure. You may take ibuprofen 400mg every 8 hours or paracetamol 1 gram every 6 hours

How many days after period can you not get pregnant?

You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

So, my wife was supposed to have her period about two weeks ago, but it never showed up. We tried using a pregnancy test a couple of times, but it keeps saying negative. But now she tells me she actually got her period yesterday. We've been married for a year, and this is the first time she's ever missed her period. We're a bit confused right now. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
