Mammogram and TTC?

[Mums]

Hi guys!

Quick question. I had to have an emergency mammogram today. We are ttc and I found a scary frozen pea sized lump that scared the crap out of me!!!!

My ob sent me for a scan immediately

That was at 2pm today

AND...of course....today I get my positive OPK 😱

We have not had any sex in several days 4+ and when we did, there was no deposit. Lol


So right now, I’m very confident I’m not pregnant

But I’m unsure if it’s safe to try tonight? Having had a mammogram this afternoon? Radiation and ttc?

Any feedback?

Many thanks!!!!

By the way it was a harmless cyst!

It would not affect you at all. I think it is an excellent idea to get a mammogram before one TTC.

I'd love to answer your question but I really don't know! DH is exposed to radiation daily at work so I asked him how much he's exposed to on a daily basis but it's less than what you'd get from a mammogram (0.004 millisieverts vs 0.4). I did read that it's a much lower dose than say a chest x-ray and that modern mammograms use very little radiation.

It's fine, no worries, glad it was nothing to worry about!

good idea to get your mammo done prior to TTC!

Update: ended up pregnant from ttc after mammogram

Hoping it won’t hurt my girl sway in retrospect!!!

Really very unlikely that one little old mammogram could do anything to affect a sway.

Huge congrats!
