DD was born at 36 w exactly (preterm labor started at 32 weeks). I had to have weekly progesterone injections from 16 weeks to 36 weeks with DS and he was born at 40 weeks exactly. I *think* it depends on the reasoning of why you went early as to how they go about it. Mine was unexplained so they did the progesterone in hopes that was the issue or would help in some way.

My first was born at 34 weeks bc of pre-ecclampsia. I started having high blood pressure again at 34 weeks with my second, but went on bed rest until 37 weeks and delivered my second just 4 days early.

I had a partial placental abruption with my first at 32 weeks then was put on bed rest for several weeks. I had another abruption at 37 weeks and delivered then, so he was born at term. With my second, I went into pre-term labor beginning at 33 weeks then delivered exactly at 36 weeks (also with evidence of an abruption). I have been advised that I'd have progesterone shots with a third, but with two abruptions in my medical history, it's more likely that it would happen a third time.
