With DS I was induced with the gel at 41+3 and he was born at 41+5 by emergency c-section after he got stuck. He was also posterior and I had an epidural.
Total time between the gel being inserted and the very first irregular contractions that started pretty much right away and him being born was 41.5 hours, active labour after the drip was put in was around 28-30 hours.
On a side note, my mum is A+ too and was in labour with me for 36 hours, I got stuck and she almost needed an emergency c-sec when I became extremely distressed. She was almost 42wks with me.
My brother is also A+ and my mum was in labour with him for 1.5 hours from the very first contraction... she claims that the Raspberry Leaf Tea she'd been taking from 30wks onwards with my brother was the reason why it was so quick lol She was a bit over 42 weeks with my brother too.
It will be interesting to see how long my next labour is since I'm going for a VBAC
