It's to help thin your cervix. It won't start labor by itself. Also, you'd have to be applying it weeks in advance.

Does it work? Yes it will help your cervix thin for some women. Will it work for you? I have no idea.

I've been using it for 2 weeks now and in the 2 weeks I've dilated to almost 4cm and am 90% effaced.

I have been taking it for a week. Tuesday is my next apt. Hopefully I will see some progress.

What kind did you get and how did you use it?

I was 4 cm and 80% and having regular contractions so "early labor" before I started EPO and a week and a half later have not progressed at all. I've taken it orally 2-3x a day and inserted it vaginally a couple times a day and nothing.
