In other terms, if a IUD wearer woman is pregnant what is the risk she has an ectopic?

There would be two answers; 1. till the contrary is proved it is an ectopic, 2. finally I would say 1/3 is ectopic.

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.
