I finally need to color over my gray :-( I guess its not too bad considering how freakin' old I am but my question is when in my cycle should I do it?
While stimming (I am now), between ER/ET, or it doesn't matter?
Any tips on coloring at home I need to know? I'm a virgin.
Re: IVF and haircolor
That's a very intersting question! My first RE never told me not to (although it was a DE cycle) but then, I never thought to ask.
I'm in the same boat you're in, so I'll be interested to hear the replies.
I get my hair colored all the time - mostly highlights and gloss not full color but it's never been an issue.
if you are dying at home always go one shade lighter than you think you need to and if your hair is thick get two boxes. Also put the dye on your roots first and then on your ends last, especially if it's been a while since you've gotten a cut/trim. "Dead" hair at the ends absorbs color faster and so if you put it on too soon the ends will look saturated or darker than your root! GL!
You never cease to amaze me with your wealth of knowledge! I would have had no clue about this.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
I would do it before ET unless your using a non-permanent or demi.
As you know I am a hair-dying guru so if you have ?'s feel free to shoot me a text.

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

I'm full of useless information LOL.
I coloured my hair shortly after a failed ivf cycle...Well i found that the colour i normally use did not take as well. The colour was uneven and even lighter than before. My hairdresser said it was probably due to all the drugs and hormones I had been taking. I think this time I will dye my hair before FET.
