How long after an MRI can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after an MRI can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have undergone an MRI examination, this method does not involve ionizing radiation. If the examination results are normal and your health is good, you can arrange for pregnancy next month. Generally, 3-4 examinations are performed during pregnancy. The first examination is scheduled between weeks 18 and 20 of pregnancy. At this stage, it can determine whether it is a single or multiple pregnancy, and the head circumference of the fetus can be measured. This stage has relatively small errors in multiple ultrasound indicators of the fetus, making it easier to verify gestational age. The second examination is scheduled between weeks 28 and 30 of pregnancy. At this time, the purpose of the ultrasound is to understand the fetal development, whether there are surface malformations, and to further understand the position of the fetus and the amount of amniotic fluid. The last one is between weeks 37 and 40 of pregnancy. At this time, the purpose of the ultrasound examination is to determine the fetal position, fetal size, placental maturity, and whether there are umbilical cord, for the final assessment before delivery.
