They're going to monitor my cervical length throughout the rest of my pregnancy and if it shortens will do progesterone shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764862 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:36:16 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1764862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: oh ok, gotcha. I guess we just assumed that we are going to hit our out of pocket maximum so i really havent really asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764815 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:22:26 +0000 MarieJ 1764815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: because I'm on a 90/10 coverage after my deductible is met, so I'm responsible for 10%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764797 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:16:54 +0000 littlek 1764797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: maybe it's an insurance thing. My insurance doesn't cover shorts unless my cervix actually shortens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764782 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:11:43 +0000 MrsRcCar 1764782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor has told me that I will be given the option on my next pregnancy because E (DS2) was 4.5 weeks early and N (DS1) was 2 weeks early. She hopes to stop another early baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764777 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:09:49 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1764777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: why does your insurance not cover that $400? My practice bills everything after baby is born and i am released from the hospital....and my ob didn't mention a cost for the shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764763 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:05:45 +0000 MarieJ 1764763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I was on suppositories the first trimester with LO #1 because of low progesterone numbers at my first appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764752 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:02:12 +0000 littlek 1764752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: that's not bad. You were on suppositories for #1? Did you have cervix issues? This is my first time on anything. My water broke unexpectedly at 33 weeks 7 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764744 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:58:47 +0000 MarieJ 1764744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Once a week. I was on suppositories for Lo #1. Out of pocket, I will pay around $400. Insurance covers the rest. The way the insurance explained it, they would rather pay for the shots than the NICU costs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764692 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:41:01 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1764692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: my ob said she would do the shots...she said either dh could do it for me or i could go to the office. They are once a week. In my head i feel like they will hurt less if i get them done in the office, but dh said he is fine doing them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764675 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:35:21 +0000 littlek 1764675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: home, daily </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764674 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:35:06 +0000 littlek 1764674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: my OB said shots were too $$$ so he gave me suppositories.. How often do you get shot? I do daily suppositories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764670 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:34:06 +0000 littlek 1764670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: it's preventive. If you had preterm birth you get put on progesterone around week 15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764656 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:29:30 +0000 MarieJ 1764656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am! I started around 19 weeks. I'm on progesterone with oil shots weekly and will continue until my 36th week of pregnancy. My water broke with dd#1 at 34w2d and I had her at 34w5d. Hoping to keep this little one cooking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764649 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:26:50 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1764649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will start at week 16. Do you ladies do it at home or go into the office? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764645 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:26:00 +0000 kodybear 1764645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was taking the suppositories from week 24 to 34 for a relatively short cervix (2cm) , currently almost 36 weeks pregnant and cervix is now about 0.5cm. so glad to be done with progesterone tho, i hated it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764192 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 09:30:22 +0000 LAZB 1764192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, but my OB told me that I will start at 20 weeks. I had my son at 35.5, so hoping for a couple of extra weeks this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764178 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 09:25:59 +0000 sarahbee 1764178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not currently, but my OB's plan for me is to get the shots from 16 weeks through 36 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1763966 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 08:41:46 +0000 MamaMoose 1763966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nmver heard of progesterone for preterm labor.
