Dr. Gregor,

Mirena has a program where women with "need" can get their Mirena for free or for a very reduced cost. I think you just need to contact them, possibly through their website, to get more information about this program. This way the only cost to her is for insertion.

Thanks. I suspect the limitation here would be getting coverage for the IUS for this indication. That would be very important for the patient, as she is the main caregiver for a forty years plus son with developmental abnormalities keeping in very dependent status.

If, at rescan, 4/12 later the endometrium is thinned down to less than 5mm( as is usually the case),there is no requirement for resampling. If it is greater than 5mm you could use a pipelle with the IUS in situ - still get a good sample.

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.
