You’ll be okay. I was told by the midwife that the gels are okay as they don’t enter the blood stream like the pills do

I wouldn’t worry, I don’t think that will cross your blood stream. Gels tend to have local side effects. Just avoid using it again.

Yes. Ibuprofen is fine until 28 weeks. After that it can impact development of the heart valves. At 15 weeks you have no problems.

@Shannon @Michelle @Raya thank you. Is strepslis also safe? I’ve accidentally also take one of those

Strepsils is a 'lacks available data' job, ie they haven't a clue because they've not bothered doing tests. Mainly because pregnant women are an afterthought for big pharma, though they'll tell you it's due to consideration and concern for women and unborn babies, yardiyardah. Basically I'm sure one will have no effect. Maybe stick to halls soothers or something tho
