Progesterone injections: Injections of one type of progesterone, a synthetic form of a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy, have been shown to reduce the risk of recurrent preterm births by about a third... This research is working to understand why progesterone treatments prevent preterm birth for some women but not for others... There is a group of women in whom progesterone will be effective and others for whom it will not be and who will need different treatments. Knowing which group a woman belongs to would fast track her to the proper treatment. The goal is to find personalized treatments that work for individuals to prevent preterm birth.” Did you receive progesterone (17P or Makena) shots to prevent prematurity in your pregnancy after having a preemie? If so, did they work? Did you deliver at term or did you have another premature baby? Please share your experiences with us!
