A member asked:
Has anyone with a history of preterm labor had the progesterone shots in their next pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recommended: Progesterone injections are recommended for women with a history of preterm delivery. The medication is safe and shown to reduce the risk of preterm delivery by approximately 30%. Save money by requesting the compounded formula of Progesterone and not the brand name makena. Makena came after the compunded formula and is expensive.
