No, because: .. we do our hysteroscopies BEFORE any induction is initiated .. otherwise, we would have waited for resolution of the stimulated endometrium (best time for hysteroscopy is EARLY follicular phase) Your speculation is most likely correct - the endometrium and the endocervical tissues have been stimulated extensively by the presumably higher than normal estrogen levels, with concomittant increase in the blood supply. -- Rafael Haciski, MD FACOG Gynecology & Infertility Assoc.

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.
