After six months trying to become pregnant my doctor suggested I do a HSG test 7 days after my last period.

I just found out that I am 10 weeks pregnant and that the HSG test was done when I actually was 4 weeks pregnant. I had a so called "false period".

Can you help me determine what the risk are ?
This seems to happen very rarely and there are very few readings on the subject.

Thank you very much for your input.

Aside from your OB/GYN, Your best source of information is the Radiation Safety Officer of the institution or care center that performed your HSG. One of the roles of the RSO is to assist pregnant patients and staff with determination of radiation exposure and risk.

Radiographers, while we have a solid background in radiation safety/protection, are not obstetricians or radiation physicists. We're not qualified to offer opinions in this area.

Good luck,
hjh, RT
