Hmm, maybe it's the weather up here..... But I deal w/ a fair proportion of women who actually *don't* always know when they'll menstruate, d/t wildly irregular cycles. Not all of us are like clockwork (she said, perimenopausily).

Actually looked after a woman one time who *never* menstruated after she d/c'ed her OCP's (for something like a year). Her pregnancy was diagnosed when (oops) the ob/gyn did a hysterosalpingogram and didn't do an hCG first, because why would you *ever* suspect that the woman was pregnant?? I always expected that that kid would come out blue or something.....

And then there was my midwifery partner's neighbour who went to have a hyst secondary to endometriosis and who also had wildly irregular menses. The gyn who cut open her uterus (it was an abdominal hyst) must have crapped his drawers when he found (oh, s**t!!) that it was *occupied* at the time. And she was fairly well advanced in pregnancy. He quick sewed her back up, and she went to live on antenatal until she had the baby, (which is where I met her, as a student). She's, like, famous. Made the front cover of the National Enquirer and did the talk show circuit. You could look it up.

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.
