So that actually WAS my cervix? OMG how did she get the camera up there?!

Maybe I should go to the Dr or something, i've put my finger up there before and never had this experience

I'm worried it's going to fall out or something!

Are you due for AF? cause the cervix moves during the month, and during the day.... And can be lower just before AF is due?

I'm actually late, so yeah maybe. Would that explain the CM? I read that before AF, you cervix is usually firm ("like the tip of your nose") but mine is extremely soft. I'm confused as well cos I've had a fair few cycles in my life but i've never been able to reach it with my finger

Don't stress. The cervix 'moves' depending where you are in your cycle. sometimes it will sit very low and other times very high, it will also have a different texture depending on whether it is open or closed.

I thought it was always closed! Though I guess it makes sense that it would be open when you get AF *duuuh*

Nope the cervix is a funny thing. It moves and opens and closes... Often, after childbirth, it will have a slightly open feel for some. It can change position during the day. It should open with orgasm to suck the spermies up to the egg.

Generally you should expect high, soft and open at the time of ovulation, and low firm and closed pre and post AF. But as far as a fertility sign it is not the most reliable.

As for the cm.... um *scratches head* not sure on that one... You do get increase cm when pg but whitish and clumpy sounds like pre af cm to me (I think)

it has been a while since I have had a cycle so cant really remember...

Can anyone else confirm his for me?????

I don't really remember my CM when I had my last preg! I don't usually get any discharge (wow lovely word eh? lol) particularly around my period which is what caught my attention in the first place. I thought that pre-AF was usually rather dry? It *is* a sort of . . . 'dry' feeling mucous but there's a fair bit of it. What the? Lol. I confuse myself.

edit: I asked DP and he says I sound pregnant? Aparently this is all similar to when I was preg with DD. Also, CM has changed from 'dry' feeling to . . . thin and wet feeling?
