So, um, I get that I’m a disgrace to this prestigious community of infertile myrtles, but I have a confession: I never checked cervical position when I was trying to get pregnant prior to heading to Ye Olde Fertility Clinic. That’s right – back when we were still deluded that sex = pregnancy. Hah!
Anyway, I never checked cervical position, because (honestly) I never could make heads or tails of it. I can’t figure out what it’s supposed to be, what the difference is between them, and truthfully I wasn’t really all that eager to learn. Since I didn’t do any of that, I never really took the time to learn what it *should* be. You know, say, during pregnancy, for example.
The nurse at the L&D unit last night seemed really surprised that I apparently had a very low cervix. Um. But what does that mean?
ETA: Jess did explain it to me, and I’m gathering there’s nothing to be alarmed about (I wasn’t terribly alarmed – I was putting more stock in the negative fFN than in a nurse’s guesstimate on cervical competence)

I never quite understood cervical position until I was actually undergoing fertility treatments and was actually ovulating. Prior to that, every time I checked the damn thing, it felt exactly like it always had before.
I’ve never been much into checking my cervix but that’s largely because I can’t exactly reach it. I do know though that they often have a difficult time getting it.
Ummm…yea…I half-heartedly attempted to check it. I never could figure it out. Supposedly, you have to do it regularly to get a sense of your cervix and what it is in comparison to other positions it can be in. GL with that!
I never bothered checking my cervix. I went to a naturopath to see if she could help with the infertility and I mentioned to her that I didn’t check it. She said she didn’t think it was necessary. She also said that one of her other patients insisted on doing it and kept managing to give herself UTIs. Maybe she didn’t wash her hands or something, I don’t know, but that was enough to keep me from trying.
I was told I have a low cervix as well. That’s why I make sure I always get my regular OB, or I reschedule. I had one OB who was filling in for my regular doc take a peek and ask why I was in for a pap when I had no cervix? Thru teeth clenched in pain I told her that if she backed that dang duck bill contraption out a few inches, she’d find it smashed underneath it!
