Does A CT Scan While Trying To Conceive Cause Any Complications?
I had a CT scan done today. My husband and I tried last night to conceive. I am worried that if for some reason I did it will have an affect on the baby. Also, I am still ovulating so am I ok to still try? I am very worried and hoping to get some answers! Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
CT scan has high radiation and be avoided during pregnancy. However the risk to the baby is negligible if any, if done before conception. So you can try to conceive. It won't make a lot difference to the fetus.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
