Ways to induce labor that actually worked!

I went to the doctor today and I'm 38 weeks and not even dilated to a 1! I'm still "dimpled". I'm absolutely miserable and I mentioned the idea to my doctor of inducing me at 39 weeks but she told me if I'm not dilated or effaced it would be a waste of time. I'm stuck :( I've been vomiting and having all the other symptoms of early labor but my cervix is still closed :( what ways to induce labor have you tried and it actually worked? I'm desperate!
