Well in my own experience, being pregnant with triplets, yes I believe it has allowed me to carry the babies longer. I also noticed, during the times that I did not feel so well, that every time I received my injection I had a little boost on feeling better. Now before I started taking the progesterone injections my doctor mentioned it to me, and described all her experiences with using it with her patients. She gave the choice to me, and never said I had to take it, but I completely trust her and feel good about our relationship as patient and doctor so I wet for it. I knew, and wanted, to do anything and everything that increased my chances of doing better carrying the triplets. So I started the progesterone injections, once weekly, at twenty weeks. Here I am now almost 34 weeks, and will take my last shot this next week at 35 weeks.
I wanted to share this information of my own to those of you that might have this option during your high risk pregnancy. In my own opinion, i believe it is safe, and is not harmful to the baby or babies. I've done a lot of research on this, and all that I have found is very similar to my outcome.
