Cervical Cerclage (stitch)

Has anyone had or will be having a stitch put in their cervix?  If so, what was the cervical measurement and at how many weeks were you when you had the procedure done?  I've had to LEEP procedures in the past and my doctor told me when we started this whole fertility process that I'd probably have to have a stitch.  At last check my cervix measured 27mm.  I read somewhere online that most doctors prefer to stitch once the cervix gets to 20mm or lower.

i had one on nov 3rd but that was bc i lost twins in march but when i was told i needed a cerclage my cervix was 1.3cm a week later i gave birth w/o the cerclage my cervix hasn't opened up yet this time bc i had a stitch put in at 13 wks to prevent that. i wasn't told how the measurements work with that.

You might want to ask this on the pregnancy 18-34 forum, only because there are so many more members, I know what a cerclage is, but I'v never had to go through it so I can't help. Let us know how things go, I think tarrah on this forum just had one put in if I'm not mistaking maybe she can help.
