Would Radiation From An X-ray Affect The Ovulation Cycle?
Question: Hi,
I had to get xrays on my hands, feet, pelvis and chest as my rheumatologist thinks I may have psoriatic arthritis. I am tracking ovulation as I hope to get pregnant after a miscarriage. Is it necessary to wait to try to conceive considering my pelvis was xrayed?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
Yes,it is safe to conceive in next cycle.
As you have got few X-rays done,it may cause damage to fetus if there is already fertilization ocurred.
So,in my opinion it is better not to conceive in this cycle.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.
