I see your point here, however, I would like to play devil's advocate. It is my understanding that the definition of infertility (ie 1 year of inability to conceive with regular unprotected intercourse) is utilized to differentiate couples that truly have a problem from those who have not become pregnant simply by chance. On a large scale, this will prevent over-diagnosis and over-treatment with its consequent risk of multiple gestation.. Agree or not? ---------------------------------- Geffrey H.

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.
