Dying hair during IVF cycle?

Not sure if this is a silly question....I tend to worry about everything :)  I am due to get my hair done but got a little distracted and never booked an appointment.  Now my IVF cycle is about to start and I am not sure how quickly I would be able to get in.  Anyone know about when you can and can't (if you can't) dye your hair during an IVF cycle???

    I did some research and posted this question about a month ago. Not a silly question at all! We worry about everything going through IVF. I got mine done going through IVF and everyone just said to make sure where you go has good ventilation. Also, I felt like getting my hair done would make me feel good which is also important going through all this. Ultimately, if you're really concerned check with your RE.

    I died my hair one color (brown) the day I started IVF meds so I didn't have to deal with highlights. I hated it. So two days after my retrieval I had balayage highlights put in ombre style. They are hand painted and didn't touch my scalp. Win-win!

    Thanks all!  I managed to get in this Friday and also found out I won't even be starting my Estrace till at least the weekend so I should be good. And @CameraBug131 I love the ombre idea and would love to do that at some point....though I still have to worry about roots since I have super dark hair and tons of silver under it all ;)
