Merina is much less likely to give her migraines than any other OBCP or patch out there. I am not belittling the inconvience and aggravation of breakthrough bleeding, but there is basically no way of gauranting it does not happen in someone who needs an potentially healthy endometrium for future child bearing. PMDD is a diagnosis created by the medical community and strongly reinforced by the pharmacetical industry, there has been no randomized trials comparing the effectiveness of different OBCP preparations for for PMS's new poster child PMDD if there ever is you can just about bet there will be no difference in effectivness.

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.
