Mucous production, fever, pain, etc are all normal bodily functions. They are not in themselves disease processes

They're symptoms of disease which neither pregnancy nor fertility are. Medications act to eliminate or minimize disease, symptoms of disease, or both.

A runny nose, for example, is the body's way of expelling harmful microbes. The only reason to use cold medication, therefore, is out of convenience or vanity.

If you were at least consistent and declared that cold medicine, pain medicine, fever medication etc. were immoral, your argument might have some merit.
