Terry, If cost is the issue here, an in office endometrial biopsy (even with path fees) is cheaper in my venue than a pelvic ultrasound with interpretation (and significantly cheaper than abd + vaginal ultrasound).

By the way, I've no idea what characters are causing the error message with your mail reader. I've never gotten such a message here. For the most part, alphanumeric and most punctuation will fly when sent as ASCII to virtually all readers. You don't get much more generic than America (trying to get) Online!

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.
