At my appointment today, my dr mentioned that she wants me to do progesterone treatments.
I have had 2 early babies. I've never carried to 37 weeks.
She said that she wants to do a weekly progesterone shot to help me carry baby to term.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
 
I have not had the shot however with this pregnancy due to multiple early miscarriages I was on 200MG of progesterone vaginally from 3-14 weeks :)
And I am now 28+1 with my baby girl
 
I was on progesterone vaginally from 20 weeks onwards, as part of a trial with women who had given birth preterm in a previous pregnancy. I got to 40+2 :) My previous LO was 27+4, so it was worth it for me!
 
I get a progesterone shot starting at 16 weeks. Through 37 weeks to prevent preterm labor. I've never made it past 38.2 weeks with my earliest @ 36 weeks.
The shot hurts but you kinda get used to it. It gives me diarrhea for 2 days after it bit otherwise, the benefits out weigh the risks.
 
She didn't say when it would start so I was curious about that. She just said they would be weekly.
I do agree that it definitely would be worth it.
I just hate shots, especially hip/butt shots.

I think you can opt for a upper arm or butt/hip shot. I went for the butt, LOL, that way I don't have to/can't look. usually it starts at 16 weeks but I've heard as early as 14 weeks. You'll be fine, just don't tense up. It will make it hurt way more later.
