When does it become unsafe to get xrays?
Before ovulation, or before the actual
conception? I have to go to the dentist
(new office because I moved) and they
won't work on me until I have x-rays. I
am going on thursday...I shouldn"t have
ovulated until sunday or monday, but you
never know. Since we are ttc...Should I
do it? I really need my teeth cleaned
and I don't want problems when i'm
preggers. Any advice is greatly
appreciated!

It is safe to have x-rays while ttc.
They just use caution while you are
pregnant, because it may harm the fetus.
If you think you might be pregnant just
tell the radiologist and they will cover
your belly with a pad. Which in most
dental x-rays they put that lovely heavy
apron on you. Plus dental x-rays are the
safest x-rays because they are such a
small dose of radiation. Good luck!!

I have an appointment on thursday, but I
am due to start ovulating wednesday.
That means I would be having xrays done
real close, or right at the time of
conception. I am worried because this
seems to be a crucial time when dna and
the genetic profile begins. Thanks for
the advice and info....It's amazing, i'm
not even pregnant yet and i'm already
worried! Lol I can't wait until I am a
parent!
