A member asked:
Will a cerclage and progesterone shots work for an incompetent cervix? are there good success rates with the combination of the two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please discuss with: Your OB , that is something that the OB who will be delivering you should discuss with you at length, it all depends on your individual situation, how short your cervix is , etc. Most women do quite well on the combination of the 2, but there are no gurantees.
