Hi Allison,
Based on my experience (a loss followed by another high risk pregnancy due to IC), I would absolutely go for the cerclage.
My first loss happened quickly - everything was fine at the 20 week scan and by 23+5, I had no measurable cervix and bulging membranes. We were going to attempt a rescue cerclage, but there was evidence of amniotic fluid in my discharge. We lost our son 5 days later.
With my second pregnancy, I had a preventative cerclage, and still I shortened to 1cm and was fully funnelled by 18 weeks. If it wasn't for interventions, I am sure we would have lost our son.
Anyways, those are my two cents! Wishing you so much luck and a long pregnancy!
