Pregnant with Twins? A Medial Study
Posted on May 12, 2009
At the Arizona Walk of Hope event I picked up a flyer from the Obstetrix Medical Group. They are doing a study on women pregnant with twins to see if they can reduce the occurrence of premature birth in these pregnancies. The study includes progesterone shots (I know those are not fun and if you are pregnant with twins after IVF probably just stopped or are still taking them),. The study involves women taking the progesterone shots and others taking a placebo. The study is trying to determine if increased progesterone will prevent preterm birth. In order to participate in the study you have to be between 16 to 24 weeks gestation to participate. The shots continue until 34 weeks gestation.

Very interesting! I work in research, but, I am not sure I’d do one as a pregnant woman. I guess i’d need to see the consent form and get all the facts. Sounds like it could give some very good answers! I was just talking tonight about our upcoming transfer and about how having twins frightens me!!!
