Can Cortisone Shots Hinder Pregnancy?
I am not pregnant now but am planning to try to conceive soon. Last wk I had an X-ray at the dentist (routine) and of my shoulder (wearing the lead covers for both). I also had two cortisone shots in my shoulder. I had planned to wait to conceive for one cycle but am ovulating soon and am tempted to try to conceive but am concerned about the above events from last wk. Please advise. Thanks!

Hello, they won't interfere in conception but in case you conceive then avoid such a treatment and inform your doctor about the pregnant status.
