Cat Scan

As some of you know i've been trying to
conceive (i don't know if I have this
month and my period isn't due for another
5 days ) however I have a cat scan
scheduled for tomorrow (i've been waiting
a very long time for it) and it's very
important that I get it done. Could this
harm a possible child in any way
considering if I am pregnant I would only
be 3 weeks right now?

Hey tanya! How are you hun? I miss
talking to you...As for the cat scan, I
would definitely explain to the technician
that you are trying to conceive and
there's a possibility you could be preg,
but need to go through with the cat
scan....Im sure theres something they can
do for you....Arent cat scans of the head
anyways? If they are, they can put those
x-ray jackets overtop of the rest of your
body(i.E abdomen) protecting the fetus, if
theres one present...Either way definitely
let them know before you get it done! I
wish the best for you tanya, you deserve a
little angel of your own!
In my thoughts,
vanessa

Aww thanks vanessa i've been thinking of
you!!!!! Actually i'm getting a cat scan
done of my abdomen and intestines....So
i'm not sure what I should do because if
i'm not pregnant I will have to wait close
to a year to get another one done

Hm this is a tough one....I've been in
your shoes though, because I have to get
x-rays of my abdomen(intestines) also at
least once a month...I got scared because
I had one done a couple months ago, but
should be okay....What time is it
scheduled for tomorrow? The only thing I
can think of is to go to your drs and see
if theres a lab you can go to, to get a
pregnancy test done(blood) but have the
results back that day....Because taking a
hpt wouldnt show up that early...Who
knows, maybe a pregnancy that early on
isnt directly affected as much as if you
were lets say 4 months into your pregnancy
ya know? I would either talk to your
physician and/or the tech at the x-ray
place, and see what they say....Im sure
they're going to do whats in the best
interest of you and your possible baby, so
if you need to get a cat scan done and you
end up not being pregnant, they should be
able to fit you in again soon, due to the
circumstances....Keep me posted on this,
and no worries! Everythings going to turn
out great.
Best of luck!
Vanessa

I'll be sure to talk to them. I was
trying to research it and I know early
pregnancy is crucial for development but
at the same time many people have had
scan's done not knowing they were in fact
pregnant and nothing went wrong but that's
a chance you take. They wouldn't be able
to tell from a scan if I was preggy would
they???

Just to let you all know I called my
doctor at home and he said he would
schedule a blood test right before the
scan so that I would know before going in.
I'm about 6 days from my next period so
im worried it won't be accurate but i'll
let you all know how it goes.
Love
tanya

Not preggy this month! But im glad about
that because I have a severe kidney
infection and I got the cat scan done! I
didn't try too hard this month but i'll
try again next month! Thats the beauty of
it! You can keep trying over and over
again.
Love
tanya
