What's Your Story? Tell us. / Help! Hoping for reassurance

« on: April 03, 2020 at 07:17 PM »

Hi im hoping to get some advice or reassurance.  Im currently 16 weeks pregnant with my second child.  I developed a severe case of ashermans syndrome after my first child and went through 2.5 years of procedures and surgeries to finally get to a point where we were allowed to try for another.  We finally conceived in December but shortly afterwards I was diagnosed with a short cervix measuring 27mm.  I was put on progesterone suppositories twice a day and taken off of work Ive been going for measurements every two weeks and my cervix has since gone down to 21mm.  My doctor wont do a cerclage at this point- he says my uterus is really irritable and hes worried it would cause too much inflammation im really struggling mentally with all this.  Everything I read makes me feel like a cerclage would be my "only shot"  at saving this pregnancy and I feel like this is our one and only chance for a second child.  Im going for another measurement next week with a different gyne (suggested by my doc) but im terrified things will end badly in the meantime.  I guess im just looking for any advice or success stories with people on progesterone only in this situation.  Sorry for the long post!
