I would suspect stress due to MRI and its anticipated result may disrupt the hormone cycle and ovulation rather than the MRI by itself.

Standard MRI's using 1.5 - 3.0 Tesla magnet strength might transiently raise bodily temperature, but have NO effect on endocrine or hormonal function. There is NO MRI effect on ovulation or pituitary functions.
