: Ginger, Hope you are doing well...I was just wondering, do you think working in Radiology could have had an effect on your two m/c's?
: I know I have read that being in front of the computer for a long time can increase chances of m/c.
: Just a thought, I am sure you have thought about it as well.
: Fingers Crossed for you and Claudinexxxxxxxxxx
Yes I have thought about it a great deal..While working we wear radiation tags that measure how much ionized radiation that we are exposed to plus we wear lead vest when in the rooms where the x-rays are taken..When I found out both times that I was pregnant I was scheduled in ultrasound so I did not have any exposure to the radiation and both times my tag read low..We change them every month and get print outs of the amount of exposure we've had..So I don't think that played any role in the m/c..I am having cramps today and mega moody so I am no longer positive this month...
