Is CT Scan Advisable During Ovulation?
Can a CT scan harm my egg if I ovulated today? I ve been trying to conceive for months now. I m currently taking fertility medication and this week is my fertile week. If I ovulated today can it harm my egg/eggs? Could it keep me from getting pregnant?

Hi,
Ionizing radiations are used in performing CT scan.
CT scan may harm the egg.
CT scan is better avoidable during ovulation.
USG abdomen would be a better option.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
