A member asked:
Had 4 chest xrays earlier this year and apron only went up to my hips - can that effect my egg quality/quantity? trying to get pregnant.

No: A lead apron over or at the level of your hips shields your uterus and ovaries. It is unlikely that 4 chest x-rays would harm your ovaries anyway as the radiation dose is very small.
