I take it because I have a weak cervix I can't pass 20 weeks without dilation I lost my first baby then so they started me at 16 weeks and I'm on it until 36 weeks I dilated and effaced still but I also have a pessary in that helped as well it helps many people but not everyone unfortunately
I didn't take that I get a shot weekly I really can't say it totally worked because my cervix shortened while on it and I am already dilated and effaced as well I've been stable I haven't checked in weeks but I will next week to see how I'm going my pessary which is like a cerclage but not stitching it's literally a silicone ring put in at the tip of your cervix it holds you up I mean it's kept me pregnant and also I don't pee myself anymore lmao but I know once I'm off everything my body won't hold itself
Definitely pray and since you're shortened pay attention to cramps even mild when mine was shortening I cramped take it super easy don't stress your body! Please because you're vulnerable right now and any irritation will make you shorten more and start dilation
I take it because I was low in progesterone before pregnancy and if it gets too low it could lead to miscarriage for me during the first trimester. I also took it with my last pregnancy and everything turned out well. Had my son at 41 weeks. Hopefully it will be the same this time around. Best of luck!

@rhonda.otero, I take the vaginal one. Does it really keep the baby up there to prevent preterm labor???
