Hi,


Thanks for asking I understand your concern.
It is clear that you need hormone progesterone & rest to protect your pregnancy .
You also have a blood clot in placenta ( with possibility of repeat episode). Your cervix is short. It is not advisable to insert vaginal pessary in such a condition.
Please stick to doctors advise & take injections as advised. Also ask about further dosage & route of medication to treating doctor.

Who is best judge for your health.
