Cervical Position During Pregnancy
Dear Anai,
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. I have a question in
regards to my cervix. I monitor my cervix, cm, and am also bbting. Everything at
ovulation (11-12 days ago) was working hand-in-hand, so to speak.
For the past 4 days, I have had a lot of lotion-like cm and my cervix has
softened up again and is in a fairly low position. I didn't monitor these things
with my first pregnancy, and I don't really know if this means anything or not.
I've never encountered a low, soft cervix before - only high and soft at
ovulation.
Any insight into this would be of great help. Thank you very much for your
time.
Sincerely,
Annette
Dear Annette,
This is a question asked many and the answer unfortunately is still the same
- one cannot tell if they are pregnant post-ovulation by checking cervical
position.
The reason why lies in the two stages the cervix changes to - high and low.
Before and after your period, it is low. During ovulation, it is high and
"open".
Since it returns to a low position after ovulation - even when pregnant (for
the initial first week or two), one cannot feel a difference enough to spot
pregnancy.
Cervical position is only used to determine possible ovulation, not
pregnancy. It is tempting to check especially when the waiting game is so
frustrating!
I hope this helps you and I wish you much luck this cycle!
Thank you for writing,
Anai Rhoads
