CT scan before TTC

Hi there,
I was wondering if there is anyone that can offer any advice about the affect of CT scans on fertility / eggs / ovaries. I had a CT scan which included my pelvis a couple of months ago.
My partner and I want to try for another baby but I’m unsure if the CT would have caused any damage? Thanks

CT scans and X-rays use low doses—too low to damage eggs and sperm, even if the reproductive organs are directly exposed.

Any others have any advice?

I’ve had plenty of CT scans in my life and 3 very quickly conceived pregnancies. Would never have occurred to me to think about it.

Thanks @mindutopia. Do you mind me asking what CT scans you had?
