Is It Safe To Try To Conceive On The Next Day After CAT Scan?

I had a CAT scan on my abdomen last week because I was experiencing intense abdominal pain. It turned out that I had kidney stones. My husband and I are currently trying to get pregnant and I ovulate tomorrow. Is it safe to try to conceive right after a CAT scan? If not, how many cycles should we wait?

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
TO answer your question in one word - YES, it is absolutely safe to try and conceive tomorrow.
A single CAT scan, even if you were ALREADY pregnant, would never harm your fetus.
ANd you havent even begun trying yet !
So please go ahead and do not worry.
There would be no lingering or dangerous effects of such minimal radiation.
Hope you are taking your prenatal supplements regularly.
WIshing you all the best with your attempts.
Take care.
