It's being used here up to 9 weeks, with mifepristone (RU486). To order the mifepristone you need to be registered, need U/S capability, etc. Not an easy process for someone doing an occaisional TAB. But, who would ethically do this for sex selection?? Ingrid

I GUESS this means we might anticipate a run of "sex-selection TABs" in the near future. What's the latest you can use misoprostil?

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.
