Q: I Checked My Cervix, So What Did I Feel??

Well after reading that the cervix changes in texture and position with your cycle and pregnancy, I decided to go ahead in there and check my own. Now the sites weren't too specific on what it should feel like when pregnant but this is what I felt when I just checked mine... I tried this last week also and had the same feelings inside.. Sorry if this seems gross or tmi for some people.. I inserted my middle finger and instantly noticed I was a lot tighter than normal and uppon further examination all I felt around me was soft squishyness.. I know from past experience how I feel inside and this is verry different than what I normally feel like. So what does this mean?? Has anyone here done this on them selves to check for pregnancy, or asked your Dr. What they are feeling for when they do this? I know this is not an exact indicator that you are or arent pregnant but I just want to know what I felt and what it means. Kelly j.

Anyone have any ideas?? I can't find anything on the web.. Only one site mentioned that at some point in pregnancy (besides labour) a womans cervix turns soft.

Well, Try Google
I was reading just yesterday about that very thing, but the site that I saw said that yes, a woman's cervix gets soft when she is pregnant, but also, right around her period. It suggested charting for several months to be able to tell the difference. Fat lot of good that does huh? Try doing a search on google with the words cervix, soft and pregnancy. Maybe that will help?

Thanks for replying, but I actually found out on tuesday I am not pregnant but infact have adenomyosis, which would explain the stretching pulling feeling and the need to pee more and my bowels slowed because my uterus was swelled with blood to about the size of 6-8 weeks pregnant. But I also was told that pregnancy can help aleviate the symptoms temporarly in some people.. So I am going to give that a try, (either that or lupron, but I wont take that) my fiance and I are going to speak to my ob-gyn next monday to discuss our options and hopefully plan when to start ttc!!!!!! :d hopefully I will be back here soon, with all new questions and info to share.
