Looking for some advice 🙏
I had a previous loss of twins at 20 weeks, cause unknown.
Currently 18weeks pregnant, cervix at 16 weeks measured around 3.5cm and today at my 18week scan it measured 2.8-3.0cm.
Doctor said it seems okay and they don’t usually recommend progesterone, and I can consider it at the next appointment or the stitch.
My next scan is a 20 week scan, 13 days away. Which doesn’t seem so far away but I’m so freaked out!!
My doctor showed me on an app how they calculate the risk of preterm labour with my measurements, and though statistically I have a very low chance of delivery in the next 4 weeks and about 17% chance to deliver before 30weeks, I’m Sooo worried and thinking whether or not I should call back for the progesterone pills or wait until the next scan?? Please help :(

In the past month, I have had my cervix measured weekly. And I am shocked the measurements are all over the place! I honestly think it depends on the ultrasound technician…. I cried a whole weekend because I was 2.1 cm. Today I measured 3.3 🤯 So I’m gonna say if doctor is not worried and didn’t put you on progesterone, you shouldn’t be worried either.
My doctor told me to stay on the progesterone since I already have it and it’s not hurting to have the extra precaution.
Was your ultrasound vaginal or stomach? My doctor said vaginal is more accurate. (But my 2.1 measurement was vaginal 🤷🏼‍♀️)
