every woman is different I was induced 6 weeks ago at 38 weeks, it didnt work (its in birth stories) i had 3 gel doses and 2 days of labour and still nothing, although there is a lovely girl in my belly buddies group who was induced at 36 weeks and gave birth 6 hours later! she will prob even comment on here for you, so every body is different. In the end if bubs or babies in your case are safe thats all that matters! oh and dont let them pressure you into a c section! you can try naturally for as long as you like depending on the babies health, dont let them rush you!
