Yes I did! It did help but also gave me thrush like symptoms

Are they monitoring you weekly?

I had a short cervix with funneling and I got a cerclage instead of progesterone since it's shown to be more effective. How short are you measuring?

@Rachael they were not, though I did have a follow up appointment one week after initially starting the progesterone and they saw that my cervix had lengthened slightly and then every two weeks I had my normal appointments with my OB- I will add that I stopped taking the progesterone because of said thrush like symptoms, but I’m planning to go back on them from tonight because I just spent a week at the hospital for “preterm labour” they saw I was contracting and my cervix had shortened to 1.5 cms - when they originally started me on progesterone , it was shortened to 2.3, but had gone back up to 3.2 after the progesterone for a few weeks and my OB said it was okay to stop taking it . I have read that it is quite normal for your cervix to get shorter and longer

@Jenna so 3 weeks ago it was 20 mm with funnelling, 2 weeks ago 9mm and last week 10mm still funnelling, this week 17mm and the specialist is saying no funnelling so my rest has been working. I am being monitored weekly as carrying twins.
