Re: 17 oh progesterone From: Andrew Folley (agfolley@hotmail.com) Sat Jun 9 11:00:41 2007 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Andrew Folley: "Re: 17 oh progesterone" Previous message: Raymond Stephen: "Re: Depo Provera" In reply to: Raymond Stephen: "Re: 17 oh progesterone" Next in thread: Andrew Folley: "Re: 17 oh progesterone" Steve I know there is some controversy around weekly use of 17 OH Progesterone but I believe that there is evidence in literature based on Meis studies in late 90s and that doing so would decrease recurrent preterm birth rate by half. ACOG has a committee opinion on thsi from Nov 2003. Also NIH of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) have data showing benefits of using IM 17 OH progesterone for asymptomatic women with history or prrevious pretermbirths. Others help me out here if possible. andy >From: "Raymond Stephen" <stephen.raymond@dhhs.tas.gov.au> >Reply-To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net >To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> >Subject: RE: 17 oh progesterone >Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 19:47:37 -0500 > >There is no evidence that progestagen therapy benefits any pregnancy. >The most one might do for this lady is to put in a cerclage at 16-18 >weeks, and even that would be debatable. > >I would like to know as well whether she has Bacterial Vaginosis. > >Steve > >-----Original Message----- >From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Andrew >Folley >Sent: Saturday, 9 June 2007 12:48 AM >To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L >Subject: Re: 17 oh progesterone > >I have 3 ladies I am considering starting on 17 OH P at 20 weeks. #1 >had an >incompetent cervix in first pregnacy with rescue cerclage at 24 weeks >and >preterm deliviery at 29 weeks. #2 developed severe preeclampsia and and >was >induced and delivered early at 28 weeks.

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.
