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...
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?

I'm going to do a HPT tomorrow. I've got a few preg symptoms but they could be AF symptoms too. I've had hot flushes, headaches, lower back pain, mild cramps, and moodiness. I thought I was gonna get AF days ago cos I was SO emotional and flipping out everywhere. I'm nauseas too actually but I'm sure it's too early for that! It has occured to me that perhaps my last AF wasn't actually AF but preg bleeding like I had with DD. Probably not but, I think it was a bit too heavy for that. Ah, confused!
Ok I had another good think, and sometimes before you get AF, you can have that wet CM. It is when the corpus luteum cyst (where the egg came from) breaks down and you get a hormonal release then AF comes...
But.... you do get extra cm in pregnancy... So I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you a big and
