As a guy, is it safe to have an mri if you and your wife are trying to get pregnant? the mri would be on my shoulder, if that makes a difference.

But even in those cases, as far as anyone knows, there are no serious side effects. Of course, the science has only been around for so long so who knows what correlation might pop up after 20 years of followup.
