So I just started training for a new type of analysis at work, where I will be exposed to lactophenol blue. My coworkers told me the guy training said to tell him if you’re pregnant or planning to be because you shouldn’t be back there. I came in a day after he said that, so I wasn’t there. They laughed when they told me because it seemed silly to them but I’m actively ttc so I’m super nervous!

I don’t want to tell him he wasted a day training me, and I don’t want to loose this step in my career. I also really don’t want to spill the beans at work before I actually get pregnant! I read the MSDS and it doesn’t seem too bad as long as I don’t have physical contact with it?

Hoping someone who works around this knows how bad it would be for me to be around it while ttc and then while pregnant.

Thanks!!
