Re: Abnormal Pregnancies (HCGs/Progesterones)From: ATFSOCCER@aol.comSun Oct 12 06:03:46 1997
In a message dated 97-10-11 16:53:32 EDT, you write: << My diagnosis was an abnormal pregnancy, and I gave her methotrexate 50 mg. per meter squared. She had normal liver tests and a normal CBC beforehand, and her HCG on initiation was 380 or so, and 5 days later it is 220 or so. I'm going to follow it weekly down to zero hopefully. I realize that I did not prove an ectopic by ultrasound or by endometrial curettage; however, clearly she has an abnormal pregnancy, and, IMHO, this has saved her an OR trip hopefully. What do ya'll think? -- Garry E. Siegel, M.D., FACOG >> Garry I am in complete agreement. I might have thrown in an endometrial biopsy to look for the chorionic villi.

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.
