At D&C there is no endometrium at all. I think, but obv cannot prove that Tamox causes an US pix of thickened endomet that is really a fibrosed thickened myometrium that gives a false positive report. Thus I now stop with a negative Pipelle. Certainly agree with the Mirena unless you know she is PM for sure (like an FSH). Pf course 1.12 is not excessive for a menstruating woman!. -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Joanne Bulley, MD Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 5:19 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Tamoxifem & Mirena 50yo G2P2 Breast CA 2000 (because I insisted she have her mammograms in '99 & '00 - she tried to argue her way out).

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.
