Can CT Scan During Early Pregnancy Cause Fetal Harm?

Hi, I had a CT scan of PNS which diagnosed that I had allergic rhinitis. But immediately after that I accidentally conceived. The CT scan was done on 16th day of my last menstrual period. I am so worried, whether the scan will have any negative effect on the egg or my fetus. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi, I think CT scan can't affect your eggs or fetus this early. So don't worry about this. You can get a level 2 ultrasound done at 18 to 20 weeks to rule out any fetal anomaly.
