My insurance doesn't cover the weekly progestrone shot for preterm labor. I have been paying approximately $10/shot ($130 for 12 shots) but now the shots are going up to $1500! This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!Thank god I have only 2 more weeks of these shots... I can't imagine paying $1500.

The price of preventing preterm labor is about to go through the roof. A drug for high-risk pregnant women has cost about $10 to $20 per injection. Next week, the price shoots up to $1,500 a dose, meaning the total cost during a pregnancy could be as much as $30,000.

That's because the drug, a form of progesterone given as a weekly shot, has been made cheaply for years, mixed in special pharmacies that custom-compound treatments that are not federally approved.
