Hi there
I have just found out I am pregnant and had a dental CT scan 2 weeks ago. Based on the dates I would have been about 2 weeks pregnant (if that)
I had no idea I was pregnant but now on reading stuff on the web seriously concerned as the radiation dose is high through CT - I was seated and it was all focused on my jawline but I had nothing to protect my lower area.
I have rung the Dental Surgery to get more info but in the mean time so worried I may have harmed my new baby.
Help please?

2 weeks? so you would of been leading up to ovulation so your egg would not of even been fertilized yet. If so I think you'll be fine :)

Yep I get confused with the timings, 2 weeks since we conceived...

Anyhoo the Surgery rang me and confirmed the amount of radiation I absorbed was low...so feel better now.

Gee - so early on - hate to worry about things like this!
