Only those who are premenopausal and not sterilised or hysterectomised!

Seriously, I'm presently preparing a medicolegal report on a woman who was so badly handicapped by her symphysis pubis dysfuntion that she has been on invalidity benefit for nearly two years so far. She went to her GP requesting OCP <two weeks post delivery and has attended regualr for repeat prescriptions and changes since.

Beats me too but some folks manage to have SI no matter what! Malcolm Griffiths MD,MRCOG,MFFP,Cert.Mgmnt Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Luton & Dunstable Hosp.,UK.

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.
