Is there any impact on doing a chest X-ray 12 days into pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Is there any impact on doing a chest X-ray 12 days pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, it is necessary to wait for half a year after a "chest X-ray" before preparing for pregnancy to avoid the impact of X-rays on the eggs of the ovaries or the cleavage of fertilized eggs. During pregnancy, especially in the early stages, X-ray examinations (including "chest X-rays") should not be performed.
