This is the patient that I frequently place on a 20 microgram oral contraceptive, assuming she is a non smoker. This often will regulate her bleeding and treat her estrogen deficiency symptoms. Once again, I would not check an FSH/LH. I don't see where it is helpful in decision making. -- Dan Logen Private Practice OB-GYN Mt.

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.
