X-rays when TTC??

I am going to the dr. Wed. and i know he will want to do x-rays on my feet for some problems I'm having!  Are x-rays harmful to eggs/ovaries when TTC?  I will be on CD5 at the time...

You should be fine!

Good luck!

nope-they're only harmful (possibly) if you're pregnant-but if you're really nervous, you can ask for a lead apron to put over your pelvis if you want.  (i know this because my mom is an x-ray tech)

Potential risks with x-rays

The levels of radiation used in x-ray procedures are so low that they pose only minimal risk to most patients. However, x-rays do present potential risks to a woman’s gynecological health. At very high doses, radiation can damage a woman’s eggs. As a precaution, some patients may be asked to wear a lead apron to shield sex organs from exposure to radiation.

I took this from an article online~~~there are many that suggest it can damage eggs, specifically the DNA inside the eggs,  and now i am worried again.  Also i have found sites that suggest that the lead apron really doesn't do much good for protection either!!  OH NO  =(
