Hello, Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic! I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. Mercury is teratogenic( substance that cause harm to fetus), in your case you had very little amount of mercury and that too four years ago. So the amount of mercury retained in your body will be extremely negligible. So you can conceive with out any fear. If you are very much anxious you can do a spectroscopic analysis to find out the exact amount of mercury in your body. Wishing you good health. Regards Dr Shana
