Q: Cervical Position

I have been doing alot of reading about cervical position, mucous and BBT lately and I can't find any info on cervical position once you have conceived.???? I have read that once you have past ovulation and are in the 3rd phase (infertile) your cervix lowers again. But I would REALLY like to know if it stays in a raised position if you have conceived??

there is no evidence that cervical position indicates conception what so ever.
your cervix will be low and slightly open during your period.
high and slightly open during your fertile phase.
other than at these times the cervix should feel closed.
and can quite normally be anywhere from high to low although it is typically inbetween.

Thanks Kia, that's exactly what I was getting at! I guess we just have to have patience.
I hear alot of people say that they "knew" right away........did any of you have that feeling???
This is all so exciting for DH and I. lol
