didn't work for me, infact its never worked for anyone I personally know who has had it, but everyone is different and obviously it has worked for people on .
I was 5 days over when I had mine, then still went another 7 days after that and had to be induced.

My ob did a sweep yesterday, it didn't feel great for a couple hours afterwards, but I got my bloody show this afternoon! So it might be worth it, totally up to you!
