Re: REI: Clomid challenge testsFrom: Dr Antonio Valdez (avaldez@infolnk.net)Tue Mar 31 11:38:20 1998
>New question for the REI folks. I perform a lot of CCCT here for >unexplained infertility and for the IVF program I refer to. What are people >currently using for their cutoff of normal. Initially I learned that a D3 >fsh >18 was the end point, then it lowered to 12 or 14, I have heard as low >as 8.5. I have also heard that if the D3 and D10 levels added together are >greater than 10, this is an end point, or at least a very poor prognostic >sign. >Harnath Holmes, MD Dear Dr Holmes: Im' not a REI folk, but I perform a CCCT in every women older that 30 who is under treatment for infertility; an according to the original work (Navot,D: Lancet 1987;2:645) the test result is considered abnormal if either basal or day 10 FSH levels are above 25 IU/L; so your cutoff value of 8.5 or 10 seems to me very low..So let us heard the experts and clear this up, please....

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.
