17p shots delayed

I am 16 weeks now and was suppose to start the 17p shots, but my doctor dropped the ball. Has this happened to anyone? My cervix is closed and I dont have any symptoms of contractions so I am not really worried. I should just start them at 17 weeks assuming they get the paperwork together. When did you guys start your shots?

    You should be perfectly fine. My insurance stalled approving them until I was 20w and I have still been ok. My cervix was also closed and long so I wasn't too concerned.

    Sweet, I think I read they just need to be started between 16 to 20 weeks. I am glad my Dr is monitoring me every week right now. That should keep me from causing a frenzy.

    I wasn't supposed to start until 19 weeks but I started contracting a lot at 16 so I started them at 17 weeks. If your not contracting a lot I believe the normal time frame to start them is 16 to 20 weeks.
