Pregnancy during the hysterogram cycle.
Because of potential mutagenic effects of radiation on the soon-to-be fertilized ovum, we questioned whether we should advise against conception during the cycle in which a hysterosalpingogram is performed. Our results do not suggest any increase in the incidence of spontaneous abortion or congenital anomalies in these patients. Therefore, we see no need to advise against conception during the cycle in which a hysterosalpingogram is performed.
