Can The X-ray Radiation Affect The Fetus?
Hi, i am trying to conceive and am on the 10th day of my cycle. I am currently having a foot joint mobilization therapy for my scoliosis and was encouraged to have a spinal xray to know the curvature degree of my scoliosis. If ever i may get pregnant this cycle, will the xray radiation affect the baby? When would be the best time to take an xray, before or after ovulation?

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic
before ovulation xray is done for lady who is trying to conceive. xray radiation is harmful to fetus. but on 10th day of cycle you may not be ovulating so need not to worry.
