NOTE : that breast tenderness only happened when the woman did not follow directions and used a FULL applicator EVERY day (about 4 or 5 gms!)

This does NOT happen when about 1/4 gm is used to apply topically - not leaving a big gob of it in the upper vagina.

I will find the article they used in the ABOG Maintenance of Certification last year (and I see there is another for this year - not yet read by me - will do soon)

Making my daughter's wedding dress currently and goofing off when I can this week to celebrate the next birthday (KEEP 'EM COMING!)

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.
