20 Weeks with a short cervix (UK)

Just looking for a bit of reassurance or advice 😊 I went for my cervical check 2 weeks ago due to 2 LLETZ procedures I had in the past and it was measuring 2.3mm but when I went in Monday it’s shortened to 1.3mm. I have been taking progesterone but doesn’t seem to have stabilised it over the weeks I had been taking it! Im hopefully going in for a Shirodkar tomorrow if they can get me in. Has anyone had this with a cervix length around mine and has been successful? I’ve been super worried! Based in UK 😊 (now 20 weeks 2 days)

I got my cerclage at 18 weeks and still had shortening afterward, I got admitted into the hospital at 22wks to keep close monitoring, but I’m now 27 weeks and still holding on. 💛 we got this girly.

Got stitch at 24mm and my cervix shortned afterwards too and by 32 weeks it was 1.9 and 36 weeks it was 1.2cm. Got the stitch removed at 37 weeks and went into induced labour at 39.5 weeks.

Fun part was my cervix remained at 1.2 cm for a very long time and they had to induce me to get the baby out.

Trust your body. It got more then what scan shows xx

I went in for a stitch at 22 weeks which didn't work as my cervix was short. However I took it easy with my body and although I had my baby at 26 weeks we were in NICU for some time . He's 2 now very healthy happy baby. ♥️♥️♥️

Would love to know other people experiences

Lmp 13th October, tested with first response Friday morning (6th) faint pink line. Bought more test after work, that evening did a digital test and said 1-2 weeks pregnant. Continued testing with first response tests every day up until yesterday. All a slightly darker pink line than Friday but not super dark. Did a digital test again yesterday morning and this morning. Both saying negative.
Had blood test yesterday and received results Hcg is 16, have another blood test Friday so won’t get results till next week. Been going down a rabbit hole with chat gpt according to that I could be any where between 13-15dpo.

I just want to know if hcg of 16 could be totally normal reading? The digital test difference from Friday to most recent have thrown me off. 🙃

I swear I see a VVFL in the top test

The top test is with urine, the bottom is with water to check that it’s not an ident or dodgy batch! I have taken 3 like the above now and keep seeing a VVFL which has colour in if I invert it or up the contrast. I am 10 dpo. Am I going insane?
