Severely shortened cervix

Hello, bit of background. TTC 4.5 years. One MMc, one ectopic, 4 failed rounds of IVF and one current 16+2 pregnancy which was going swimmingly.

I had an intense lletz 2 years ago, 3x10mm passes and another unmeasured. I also had a massive haemorrhage two weeks later involving 4 transfusions plus platelets, still getting over it.

anyway, went for my first cervical scan today thinking the worst it would be is nearing their cut off (25mm) but it’s 11mm. It’s closed. She’s asked me to come back in tomorrow to attempt the stitch (but might not be enough cervix to stitch). I included my backstory to emphasise that this is likely the only close to successful pregnancy I’ll achieve. I’m a little numb/can’t believe it/crying intermittently. So sad to be back in a hole instead of the shiny enjoyment.

can anyone give me stories of success (which I would deem reaching 31 weeks, or similar)? I just feel so sad and scared.
