no deoderant/perfume prior to EPU and Transfer- anyone?

[nickle730]

Hi Saffy, If you're worried about BO you could try a crystal deodorant? It's completely natural and has absolutely no scent. Good luck tomorrow.

Yeah I never wore anything either... I think it's best to follow their instructions. Anytime you go into an operating theatre you are expected to be free from all of those things, even for an ET. Sorry I wouldn't use crystal deodorant either.

hey Saffy,

my info booklet also says the same thing and says the embies don't like it

I was always told not to use deodorant or perfume. I was also told not to use soap either. That was for my Lap, EPU, ET and my D&C's.

[Saffy]

God why did I hear this for the first time on my 6th transfer!!
Thanks y'all x

It does seem strange that they didn't tell you right from the get go.

I've swapped clinics, my first never mentioned it, my second told me after I'd already had 2 transfers but maybe they thought I already knew from the first!
