Were there 2 fetuses seen each with a heart beat and then one vanished or were there just 2 sacs and then one went away? The latter is not a vanishing twin and probably never was a twin.

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.
