I recently tried it on a 14week IUFD, confirmed by u/s at 12weeks. She was refusing D&C, and I was getting very concerned about the risks. Within 4 hours of taking this remedy she began cramping and spotting, passed conception tissue within 10hours. The great thing about homeopathic remedies is, if it doesn't work it causes no harm, and if it does work it works well. Tammy On Sat, 30 Aug 1997 17:09:51 -0500 "Karen J.

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.
