Siegel, M.D.: "Re: Serum progesterone and tubal pregnancy" >From ACOG: "Of pregnant patients with serum progesterone values of less than 5 ng/mL, 85% have spontaneous abortions, 0.16% have viable intrauterine pregnancies, and 14% have ectopic pregnancies (23). Pregnant patients with serum progesterone levels between 20.0 and 24.9 ng/mL have ectopic pregnancies in 4% of cases; 2% of ectopic pregnancies occur with serum progesterone levels greater than 25 ng/mL. Most ectopic pregnancies (52%) are associated with serum progesterone levels between 10 and 20 ng/mL, thus limiting the clinical utility of this assessment (24)." I personally do not use it ...

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.
