Patient's question:
Doctor, I had in vitro fertilization, and now I'm 3.5 months pregnant. The day before egg retrieval, the doctor asked me to get a chest X-ray, and then three days later, the embryo transfer took place. At the time, the doctor said it was okay, but after looking it up online, I found that some people say it's not safe to deliver shortly after a chest X-ray. There are different opinions on this. How significant is the interference?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. From the perspective of prenatal and postnatal health, it is not advisable to have a chest X-ray during early pregnancy. Since you are now about three and a half months pregnant, I recommend visiting the hospital for an NT screening and a Down syndrome screening. At 24 weeks of pregnancy, you should undergo a detailed 4D major anomaly scan. This is the advice for the question "Doctor, I had IVF and am now about three and a half months pregnant," and I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
