I've taken out a couple of those, since you don't know what it is and it's possible to torse if you leave it in. After 16 weeks, surgery can be pretty safe for all concerned.

Any other ideas?

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.
