X-ray During TWW?

Question

Hello all 👋
Please put me at ease. I am 5DPO and I need a chest x-ray to determine if I broke a rib. 
They handed me the form to confirm I'm not pregnant. What should I do? Say no and get the X-ray or hold off?
Thanks!!!

Answer

I had an xray of my ribs during pregnancy. For me, the benefits outweighed the risk
 You can ask for blood work for HCG. Otherwise, I personally would have the xray if its needed.

Answer

Having a broken rib sucks, especially if it doesn’t heal properly. Get the X-ray.

Answer

You’re only 5dpo so you’re not even pregnant yet. You’re not considered actually pregnant until implantation has occurred and the egg successfully implants into the uterus. The very earliest that can even happen is 6dpo which isn’t common at all. The latest is 12dpo with 9-10dpo being the more common time for implantation. 
So even if they did a pregnancy test or even a blood test, it’s going to show negative regardless.

Answer

U mark no because u aren’t pregnant right now🤷‍♀️

Answer

Thanks everyone! I had it done and he put a lead shield over my pelvis 😂

Answer

Not trying to scare you but I know a woman who got exray when she was pregnant and it hurt her baby and it died shortly after birth:(
