I knw its better to avoid during et n er. But Is it safe to use makeup products, perfume, deodarant, etc during ivf procedures lik stimms?
I used makeup during stims but cut out the perfume. Cause I can't do without makeup in the office and I do simple makeup like bb cream and some blusher. My bb cream is also paraben-free.I knw its better to avoid during et n er. But Is it safe to use makeup products, perfume, deodarant, etc during ivf procedures lik stimms?
I went to check the ingredients. But only after I got my BFP. Prob will be useful to you soon so just sharing here.Wat brands would b consider safe? I heard skinfood, the simple, innisfree, etude house. How bout deodorant? I cant live wo perfume..haha
Any specific brands to tk note?actually when during the ivf journey like er, et i still use make up but not perfum, dedorant ok, but when preggy seldom use perfum as very turn off by the smell and also when preggy/stimulations dun use products which contains aha or fruit acids or pimple cream type
Very difficult to find organic also. And costly. Save the money for your future baby. My rule of thumb is as long as the item is washed off and doesn't stay on my body for long periods of time, I'm ok. So only makeup and face care, I'll be more fussy.I asked my tcm. She says as long as paraben free shd b fine. No nd specifically go organic

Oh I mentioned in my earlier post, I retained very few items lol. Laneige bb cushion, cetaphil daily facial moisturizer, nature republic aloe Vera gel, this spray I bought from Taiwan made from a vegetable. I read articles it's better to use products from reputable brands.Don mind can share wat kinda comestic u n skincare u using currently?

Methylparaben is the most common form of paraben used. There are other forms of paraben, starting with iso- or phenol-. I use laneige bb cushion which is paraben-free. Now limiting myself to only nature republic's aloe Vera gel for moisturizing. I'm still looking for a paraben-free toner. For sunblock, use a physical sunblock (look for titanium dioxide or zinc oxide). For days I go without makeup, I use cetaphil daily facial moisturizer, has SPF and is paraben-free.
Other than parabens, there's also other bad chemicals, which is even more impt not to use. In a nutshell, avoid products with acne-busting, anti-aging and even whitening properties.
Many pregnant ladies just use normal, I'm just planning to be more cautious in first tri since we are IVF-ers.
For IVF itself , I don't think need to restrict so badly but do what you can, if you feel good about it.
