Anyone taken progesterone shots?
My first child was 6 weeks early and I was in the hospital on bedrest and IV meds 2 weeks prior to delvery. My doctor wants me to start taking progesterone shots 16 weeks to hopefully prevent my uterus from contracting too early. The shots are called Makena and there's a big uproar about them right now because of the jump in price. I am almost 12 weeks so I've got to decide if the benefits outweigh the possible side effects. Has anyone ever taken progesterone shots to prevent preterm birth? If so, did they help or did you have side effects from them?
