Default OTC meds affect fertility?

Hi, I'm kinda new here and had a couple of questions. Brief background, I've been diagnosed with a mild case of PCOS (sugar level are ok) and I just started my first round of Clomid.
My question is: do over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen, sudafed or claratin affect fertility?
I take advil occasionally for headaches,etc. I've been taking a 24-hr claratin every day. But about every 2-3months my sinuses kick it into high gear and I end up taking sudafed for about a week or so. I'm taking it right now and I have a doctor's appt tomorrow to determine if this is a re-occuring sinus infection, a cold, or allergies.

i have never been told not to take those mentioned meds while ttc. If your concerned i would ask your ob to be safe.
