Thank you for the answer! I think the same as you do. for example many
years ago you had an x-ray but at that time the egg cells are fixed so
they would not be damaged. But what I want to know is that when a
follicle is growing during that two months to be ready for ovulation,
would a lot of chromosome copying inside the cell taking place at this
stage? If so would any radiation or meds cause a mistake to this
delicate work being done?
Thanks again and happy Halloween!
