Next in thread: Braun, R. Daniel: "Re: Ovarian mass and early pregnancy (long--what a surprise!)" The protocol for MTX says that mass should be less than 3 cms? - but this case - cyst seem not related to IUP - maybe has had such "mass" for months - not a bad idea to do office suction curettage and give MTX - see what happens then to cyst. Interesting case - can argue both ways! At Thu, 29 Jun 2000, Jim Connerth wrote: > >Does not want to be preg-VS stable-HCG<10k-Empty uterus---???MTX??? > >"Garry E.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
