Trouble TTC

I'm new! 1st time IVF. Question about hair dye/nail polish.

Hi, I am new here. My DH (32) and I (31) started our first IVF cycle in mid-May. Due to male-factor infertility, we did ICSI and PGS, and now have our FET scheduled for 7/14/16. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's ok to dye my hair (roots) and/or get a mani/pedi before the FET, or if I should just hold off on doing so. Thanks!

  • Hello! I don't have any experience with IVF or FET, so that might be a better question for your doctor.
    Personally, I've tried to reduce the amount of artificial chemical exposure in my lifestyle, but I have no proof that it would be unsafe, I just feel more comfortable avoiding those things. If a Mani/pedi would help you relax, that might be more valuable :) good luck with your transfer!
