Makena a drug approved in 2011 to prevent premature birth didnt work then and doesnt work now. This is the only medication that helped me complete a pregnancy.
The Fda Must Pull Makena From The Market Stat
And my doctor didnt think Id make it this far.
How long after makena shot is stopped will labor start. Makena therapy starts between 16 weeks and 20 weeks 6 days of your pregnancy depending on your healthcare providers direction. I took the p17 compounded not Makena with my second and went full term completely healthy after having a 30 weeker due to preterm labor. Im currently on weekly Makena injections and I was told after my last shot at 36 weeks I could go into labor within a week or two.
The most common adverse reaction with intramuscular injection was injection site pain which was reported after at least one injection by 348 of the Makena group and 327 of the control group. Everything Ive read and been told says probably go in labor within a week or two bc it takes a week for the shot to get out of your system. I was on it from 20 weeks to 36they say 12 days after you stop the shot you go into labor that was true for me as well.
We alternated sides every week. Begin treatment between 16 weeks 0 days and 20 weeks 6 days of gestation. The FDA should remove it from the market.
Im just curious when did you go into labor after stopping the progesterone. You will start receiving Makena injections anytime from 16 weeks and 0 days of your pregnancy up to 20 weeks and 6 days of your pregnancy. If this is the case I will be 36 weeks when my last shot wears off.
Based on my research it seems like most doctors recommend starting up the shot around 16 weeks but can still be beneficial for women who start as late as 26 weeks. Continue administration once weekly until week 37 through 36 weeks 6 days of gestation or. I had my last shot makena at 36 weeks.
She said if i was even thinking about it i should go ahead and start the process so by 16 weeks everything would be ready to goFYI i started shots at 17 weeks. Basically the amount of time it takes for the extra progesterone to clear your system. With my oldest I went into Preterm labor at 28 weeks and my youngest girl same thing at 29 weeks and had to spend 5 days in the hospital to have it stopped and I already had labor stopped at 25 weeks so im hoping this baby stays in a while longer and yours also.
Not 100 effective but Ill do anything that reduces the risk. I would 100 recommend the makena shot. Last thing I want is another induction.
But it is GREAT you made it to 36 weeks. Ill be 38 tomorrow and Ive been feeling more crampy but no signs of labor. I am currently 37 weeks and still pregnant and not dilated at all.
Well next monday is my last shot and I have heard that most people will go into labor 7-10 days after the shots are done. It is a good thing that I am. Ive heard 9-10 days after the last shot.
I am now 37 weeks and 4days no baby yet but i had false labor after 36 weeks. P17 has been around for a long time and NIH has done studies that show it is the only proven thing to statisticaly reduce preterm labor. You will continue to receive Makena injections 1 time each week until week 37 through 36 weeks and 6 days of your pregnancy or when your baby is delivered whichever comes first.
I had my first son at 336 weeks. Its not an exact science so I guess it could go either way. The shot is pretty painful at first but after the first few you get used to soreness itchiness.
My mw told that they will not stop labor after I have stopped the shots. Im 342 and have two shots left. I started getting the makena shot at 17 weeks until 35 weeks.
I thought for sure. But is it worth having a healthy baby. Table 3 lists adverse reactions that occurred in 2 of subjects and at a higher rate in the Makena group than in the control group.
The injections only hurt if i didnt relax my mussels which was only twice. I am just curious if any of you ladies have had the progesterone shots. The weekly injections were many things.
You will receive 1 injection each week every 7 days until week 37 your last injection could be as late as 36 weeks 6 days or until.
