All the time. When someone is early pregnant, and spotting, has a history of miscarriage, ectopic, etc., they generally have serial HCGs, with an initial progesterone level.

If less than 5, the pregnancy is not good. 5 to 25--can't say much. Most values fall here. Over 25, good pregnancy, right place.

I seem to think the above is correct, from an article long ago.

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.
