Has anyone used it and what were the results? Also, when did you start using it?

    Started using it this weekend (38w, 5d). Finally dilated to 1cm today (39w, 2d) after three weeks of internals. I shove a capsule up in there three times daily. No idea if it's doing anything, but trying makes me feel better. Wear a panty liner.

    Motherhood is just so glamorous.

    Thanks! Maybe I will try it this weekend after I am 38w. Where did you get it?

    Like PP said, I don't know if they are doing anything for me either, but it does make me feel like I am doing something to help things along.  I also decline internals, so I have no idea where I am at.  This way I can tell myself that I am probably walking around at about 3cm!  I only do one at night though.

    I got it at Whole Foods.

    I started at 37.5weeks, only taking it orally (500mg 3x/day). At 38w I was a tight 1cm. I am now 39w4d and still a tight 1cm, even after my OB did a little membrane sweeping last week and I lost my mucous plug. I wish I'd declined internals cuz it's just making me discouraged even though I've read that they really mean nothing and things could still progress super fast and be fine. Not to mention baby refuses to drop and my OB mentioned that if I do go into labor while he's still so high and he doesn't drop, I may need a c-section. Sorry for the rant, it's been a crappy day!
