Cerclage ???

cbranch89

How often are you monitored? I received my cerclage on the 8th, had my follow-up last Friday, next appointment is 8/1. Last appointment dr did a speculum exam. Was wondering if you all get cervical checks via ultrasound or speculum. Also, what worked best for you p17 or pills? Also, I'm having a rcs so idk how that effects my cerclage removal. Thanks

I had a rescue cerclage done last Friday and they said it would be checked every week for awhile. My appt this past Thursday she did a speculum exam but on Tuesday I will have an ultrasound.

With my first cerclage I was monitored every week from week 16.  I carried to term.

With this cerclage I am being monitored every three weeks by OB and every four by MFM.

I declined the P17 shots.  I did take oral progesterone with the beginning of this pregnancy because I had a dip in my progesterone early on.  I do not think that has anything to do with my IC.

Edited:  All my checks are done via ultrasound.

I was checked every 1-2 weeks from cerclage to 24 weeks via internal exam. I also took oral progesterone until 37 weeks.

With DS, I had a rescue cerclage at 25 wks. I was checked weekly after that. This time, cerclage was done at 13 weeks. I'm checked every month for now but dr says it'll be more frequently after next month.

Hey, everyone.

With the weekly checks, does your insurance cover for frequent visits?

Or what other resources are available if insurance doesnt cover? Thx in advance.
