I got what I thought was AF last week but then I started to feel nauseated, couldn't keep anything down and felt pregnant but thought it was my body playing tricks on me, which it really likes to do...so I went and bought a two-pack and the test came up fast but really light. So am thinking maybe implantation bleeding last week but it was heavy. Now to think about it--I've done stuff in the past few weeks that a pregnant woman shouldn't do--like take Vicodin,(i fell on the ice and bruised the heck out of my tailbone) so used it a few times for pain relief, drink (not at the same time), had x-ray's done. Uggh.

I did the whole calendar and it would look like around 6 week's'ish and due the end of July/Beginning of August but I cant get into my doctor until Tuesday so have 4 days to mull around this.

Oddly enough... I had a pelvic X-ray with my son about a week after conception... and with these babies I had a pelvic CT scan (which is worse) at 6dpo (I had OHSS and was in the hospital and the lunatic doctor was sure I had appendicitis)

My son is fine and I have no reason to think these babies won't be.

With my son I had a couple beers and some nyquil (not together) before knowing I was preg. Again, he's fine.

With these babies, I have IV morphine for 2 days and then went home with Vicodin which I was told is OK when pregnant.

I wouldn't worry if I were you, not about those things. Habitual or heavy use may be a problem, but not what you are talking about.

From what I understand, X-rays are more "unknown" than harmful. Diagnostic x-rays are not all that high a level of radiation. It's radiation therapy you REALLY have to worry about. It's good if you can avoid the x-rays, but it's one of those cases where if the benefits outweigh the risks, do it. And it's not like people normally do x-rays recreationally. (Although I understand you used to be able to look at x-rays of your feet in shoe stores to see how the shoes fit... which was probably pretty fun!)

We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing, with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip..."
