As far using the term "IUFD" ... isn't it an "embryo" until organogenesis is complete? So we don't call it a fetus until that time ... 12 weeks (or so). I agree that we should not "overcall" something an IUFD. It is still a loss and there is grieving but it isn't an IUFD. I think that even if something is done for the defect it has to be only after it is allowed to totally heal from the current event. 8 weeks minimum -- probably more like 3-6 months. Not sure a repair will make a different in the next outcome.

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.
