I am currently taking the 17P shot. It is a progesterone weekly injection used to help prevent PTL and premature birth. Please click on the link and watch the video about how the cost of this drug is going from $10-$15 per injection to $1,500 per injection....pharmaceutical greed. Please take action. You never know when you or someone you love might need this.

I was on 17p as well starting my 16th week up until 36 weeks. Thankfully my insurance covered my medication.

Karen - I know! This is ridiculous! Sheesh. Luckily, where I live, this isn't happening, but I'm still outraged that it's happening in the USA!

What week did you start the P17 shots?
