Apologies for asking this, I know it's a silly question but I was just wondering what your thoughts are on having hair highlights 2 weeks before a fet. Am I being sensible, over cautious or downright silly! This will be our third transfer and I don't want to jeopardise anything. All the very best to you all and thank you for being there, you have helped me In ways you'll never know! X

I actually have not heard anything medically about this but on my transfer I didn't dye my hair just in case. It's not silly, we're always so scared in case we do something to hinder our chance.
I’ve always dyed my hair in the lead up to cycles, I try and plan it to be done before so I don’t need to get it done around transfer or during the tww. Never be afraid to ask anything, we all need re assurance xx
Thank you so much for your reassurance and kind words, means a lot! Xxx
I don’t think it’ll do any harm at all it’s not like it’s during the 2ww.
I think it’s important to treat yourself! This journey is hard enough without depriving yourself.
Ultimately your decision do whatever feels right for you & if you think you might blame yourself if it didn’t work ( not saying it wouldn’t) then don’t do it.
Thank you very much Jess, do want to treat myself it's been a tough few months after our chemical and all the immunology tests that have followed it but we've finally been given the go ahead again, at times we never thought we'd get there again! just don't want to do anything wrong this time, really hard decision to make silly really as it's only hair! All the best to you xx.
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot! What a lovely thing for your fertility doctor to say and wonderful news on your pregnancy. We are just so happy at the moment, these immunology tests have been so worrying for us, have to keep pinching myself that we are getting another chance at it! All the best to you xxx
It’s a personal choice. I chose to dye my hair and my son is perfect in every way. One time it was a natural conception, this time it was via IVM and I tested positive today xx
I think you’ll be fine doing it beforehand. I checked with my hairdresser when I wondered the same thing and she said it’s just in the first trimester you need to be careful with what you’re using. I had my highlights done just before frozen embryo transfer and then have continued to have them done every 6 weeks since my transfer worked and baby seems fine xxx
