IVF STIMS and Keratin Hair Treatment

Hello ladies!

I am currently on STIMS for IVF and egg collection estimated 10th Feb.
I totally forgot that I have a keratin treatment booked for tomorrow morning. It’s Nanokeratin (no formaldehyde). Hairdresser has told me it’s not recommended for use on pregnant people. I’m not pregnant .. but still.. should I avoid?

I will ask my clinic this tomorrow morning but don’t have enough time to wait for their reply to cancel the appointment!

Thanks

I would cancel the appointment just to be safe. For one you don't know how this might impact your ivf treatment (potential hormonal imbalance, possibly follicle development being affected) but also you don't know how your scalp/hair will react to the treatment when your hormones are at unusual high levels.

Thank you very good points! I’ve cancelled. Xx
