A healthy, asymptomatic, nulliparous 36-year-old woman requests your advice because she has
been
unsuccessful at achieving pregnancy over the last 13 months, despite regular menses. Performing
an
initial physical examination, you detect a firm, non-tender, multinodular uterus whose size
corresponds
to that at approximately 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, which is consistent with leiomyomata uteri.
The
remainder of the medical history and physical examination is within normal limits, as is her
husband's
semen analysis. Normal ovulatory status has been documented by basal body temperature
monitoring
and luteal-phase progesterone measurement. Your next best step is to recommend
a:
normal pelvic ultrasonography
b:
hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

in vitro fertilization - embryo transfer (IVF-ET)

myomectomy

arterial embolization of the fibroids

not
desire childbearing. She has had three laparoscopic procedures in the last 18 months that showed

a:
repeat diagnostic laparoscopy
b:
barium enema, intravenous pyelography, and plevic ultrasonography

A 42-year-old woman, G2P2, who had a laparoscopic tubal fulguration 7 years ago, has abnormal

last 6
months, the interval has varied from 14 to 35 days and the menstrual flow has lasted from 1 to 14
