Let's say the ultrasound was completely normal in the same situation, would you still scope her? If your D&C was negative and the laparascopy was negative, then what?

Exam per ER MD negative, HCG 1300, Hemoglobin 15, ultrasound empty uterus and 3 cm. cyst left side. 1/15--asymptomatic except spotting, HCG 1900, Hemoglobin 15, negative exam by me. Ultrasound no change. 1/18--HCG now 2800 from 1/17, progesterone 5.4 from 1/17, exam and ultrasound unchanged. Would you have made a dispostion on 1//15? If so, what? If not, now it is 1/18 and I made a dispostion. Would you: 1. D and C, frozen section, and scope if negative? 2. D and C, await pathology, give methotrexate? 3. Give methotrexate primarily? More to discuss once replies come in. . . Garry -- Garry E.

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.
