Preventing PTL

Hi all! I wanted to post to see if anyone had any insights regarding PTL. I am currently taking p17 shots weekly. No real problems with that other than the usual itchiness and soreness. However, the day before my shot I start getting contractions. I was checked 2 weeks ago and my cervix was hard long and closed. Yesterday day before my shot again I was getting some pretty strong BH contractions. I went in and they took the ffn test which I will get back today. When she checked my I'm not dilated but she said my cervix softened. I'm on bedrest till the ffn test comes back. Hoping for a negative. My question is has any other p17 ladies gone through this? Would it be prudent to ask about taking the shots every 6 days to prevent this?

    Great questions.. I was wondering the same thing.  The day before my shots is when I get the most contractions.  I know that there are studies being done on the progesterone suppositories and how helpful they are.  Im thinking about using t
