17-p injection

Have any of you soon to be mommies had to get the hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection? If so any side effects? Good or bad stories? I was just told at my appt that I will begin them at my 16 weeks due to having a previous preterm delivery and having a fibroid with this pregnancy.

We have decided to get the injection. My daughter was born at 36 weeks and was perfectly fine but with that and the growing fibroid this time he wants to take precaution. Thanks for the input.
