Weird Q re: DH and X-rays and TTC
I know that woman TTC should not have x rays done but, I am wondering what about the men? My DH just had to have an xray done (his foot) and I am wondering if the radiation could affect his sperm? I can't really find anything online and the Dr. seemed very blase about the whole thing. Thanks ladies Any insight greatly appreciated.

I think it's probably fine-they covered him with the lead apron right?

Thanks for the response.
No - he didn't. DH told the Dr. that we were TTC and the Dr. was like - this is low level and will only affect your foot etc. etc. and he didn't even have a lead apron!

What an azz-every day I am more and more convinced I would be a better Dr than 1/2 the quacks out there. BUT I am sure it is ok.

He was explaining to us that the machine was very low-dose xray and that he didn't even have to leave the room (which he didn't) - however, he did tell ME to leave in case - as he put it - a baby came out with three heads and we would sue him! Now, of course, after the fact I am freaking out.

Re: Weird Q re: DH and X-rays and TTC
The X-ray won't damage anything that isn't in it's direct range. Additionally, men are continuosly producing sperm- so it's fine.
The docotor was an @ss to put it that way, rather than speaking to you like an adult about your fears....
