Hi @Lma207 I'm also 22 weeks, had to have an emergency cervical stitch last weekend after they spotted my cervix was open at my 20 week scan and also been prescribed cyclogest 2X 400mg a day. I have no idea what symptoms are related to that but I feel EXHAUSTED. How are you feeling? X

Awful. I’ve only just got over (at 21 weeks) horrendous morning sickness requiring meds, so to find myself back at square one is pretty disheartening. Is it normal to have both the stitch and cyclogest?

Poor you :( I'm not sure if sickness is a symptom of the meds, have you asked the doctors? I had awful morning sickness till about 18 weeks but currently feeling not quite as bad. I think it's fairly normal to be prescribed progesterone as well as have the stitch from the research I've done - why did they prescribe it to you? Cervix issues or something else?
