A member asked:

Can taking cyclogest (progesterone) 200mg per day reduce my chances of preterm delivery? as i have a higher risk of having a weak cervix due to leetz

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Preterm delivery: There is scientific data to suggest that Progesterone decreases the risk of preterm delivery in those at significant risk for it. If just having a lletz, leep or cone is your only risk factor, it may not be truly necessary.
