Why, is this not the premise behind RU-486 abortifacient? Is it not know that removing the corpus luteum in early pregnancy (thus removing the source of progesterone) leads to a spontaneous abortion? I think that such absolute dogmatism as you espouse in your note is without any justification. On the contrary, if there is suggestion that there may be a failing of the corpus luteum function, progesterone supplementation may eliminate it and possibly save the pregnancy. Certainly, it will not save a pregnancy that is failing from other cause, but the patient is well aware of that, and in no way deluded by false hope! -- Rafael Haciski, MD FACOG Gynecology and Infertility Associates Baltimore, MD 410-825-0020 web......http://www.IVF-MD.com e-mail..GIA@IVF-MD.com > From: Zach Newton <zbnewton@mindspring.com> > Reply-To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net > Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2000 20:34:28 -0500 > To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@forum.obgyn.net> > Subject: Re: OB: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss > > Garry Siegel wrote: > >> you think? > > I think that there is no scientific justification outside of IVF for the > common use of progesterone support for a biologically doomed conception. > > The cost of utilization resource and anguish derived from false hope > borne by the effected patient is factious. > > Zach Newton > Z.

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.
