I think it is possible that the uterine and ovarian perfusion will follow similar tendencies to be more resistive before and during menses, but should be low at ovulation. In fact, the breast may also exhibit decreased resistance during menses... however, we do need much more research on this subject.

Prof. DuBose the question I made is because I performed the doppler analysis on a limited group of fertile patients and I found an average Vp of 48.3 cm/sec a RI of 0.93 and a PI of 4.25 quite similar to those found at the uterine artery is it possible?

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.
