Can I wear mascara on my egg collection day?!

[Anna00]

Hi it’s me again🙈 just wondering can I wear little bit of make up tomorrow on my egg collection? They told me not to wear any perfume deodorant and any thing that has smell also no fals nails or nail varnish. I won’t wear foundation,can I just wear mascara? Or it’s not safe? Also can I have my facial moisturiser? Just wan feel better and more human. Thanks xx

As scary as I might have looked, I went completely make up free and fragrance free for egg collection. To be on the safe side. I think I used my regular face moisturiser. When you’ve your gown and hair net on you’re going to look a million dollars 😋 xx

Thanks for posting this...knew about the perfume and nail polish but not the make up or deoderant! Whats the verdict on facial moisturiser? X

[Dunla in reply to TTCs]

I wore a little facial moisturiser. Couldn’t do without it! It wasn’t heavily fragrances so thought I’d get away with it x

[TTCs in reply to Dunla]

Cool thanks...we all just want to do the right thing...if someone told us it would help to stand on one leg and hop around after we would do it 😂

[Dunla in reply to TTCs]

You are not wrong 😂

I wouldnt risk putting anything on. You will only doubt yourself later and make yourself worry. It's not worth it xx

[Anna00 in reply to Anipea]

You’re right I won’t wear makeup no risk! Xx

Hi Anna00. You will be just fine “au natural”. If you look at the staff looking after you, most won’t have make up on, so you will blend in well! Good luck and I will be thinking of you. Diane

[Anna00 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thank you DianeArnold. I won’t wear any just wan be safe no risk after all hard times. I’m full of stress so scared. Thanks for the message xx

Haha, we will be fine. At least we have the weekend to recover 😗 I normally like a wee hot water bottle as a comfort & would have had it tomorrow but hear that is a no no!! Need to think of another plan... Xx

[Anna00 in reply to Rainbowbright1]

I like hot water bottle, ask your dr tomorrow maybe they say it’s ok xx

My clinic give you a plug in heat pad to help with the pain straight after EC so i figure it must be ok !

I haven't had IVF but I've been through surgery twice under general anaesthetic. And it was very strict no make up, no nail varnish. I even asked whether I could have my eyelashes tinted ,( I do this every month) but was declined. xoxo
