Ibuprofen or anti-inflammatory gel/cream when TTC/early pregnancy

Si

Hello,

I've been having problems with pain and swelling in my knees for some time now. I don't want to take regular painkillers/anti-inflammatories as I'm TTC but my physio has recommended using ibuprofen gel directly to my knees. Does anyone know if this is safe when ttc or early pregnancy? Any advice/experience would be much appreciated!
