A doctor has warned that women who hope to become pregnant should steer clear of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killers (NSAIDs), because they could prevent ovulation in as many as 75% of fertile women, according to a small study he conducted. Previous research has suggested that NSAIDs can stop eggs produced by the ovary from being released — termed "luteinised unruptured follicles".
