I'd check with the doc before taking ibuprofen before a procedure. It's also a blood thinner, isn't it?

Definitely check with your doc!
I took some aspirin before I got my wisdom-teeth out and after the procedure I spent half an hour over the sink before shit stopped bleeding.

nekowafer:
Ibuprofen is the recommended medication actually - at least with my doctor. I was told to take it before getting biopsies taken and before freezing off my precancerous cells. I'm guessing that the minor anti-coagulating properties are acceptable considering how much it helps with the pain.

Edit: having an IUD placed is not going to cause nearly as much bleeding as wisdom teeth removal.

Carl-E:
And ibuprofin isn't nearly as good a blood thinner as aspirin. 

Redball:
Just remembering a dentist years ago asking if I'd been taking aspirin or ibuprofen. Ibuprofen, I told him. He didn't tell me not to in the future, so I guess it wasn't significant.
