Question 1

what does it mean when your cervix is low & hard?

Accepted Answer

Cervix: Depends on the context. The cervix typically is said to feel like the end of your nose. When pregnant, the cervix becomes softer. The cervix (and uterus) sometimes are lower after birthing children, a condition called prolapse.

Question 2

what does it mean if cervix is low, hard, slightly closed and wet

Accepted Answer

Not much: Cervical position and consistency is subjective, variable and not particularly relevant. It varies by age, number of pregnancies and timing in the menstrual cycle. It’s not something you need to be paying attention to unless you are in labor. If you are experiencing vaginal discharge then schedule a visit for testing.

Question 3

why is my cervix low and hard?

Accepted Answer

Cervix in pregnancy: These descriptions of your cervix after your pelvic exam mean that you are not ready for labor. The uterus is not changing in preparation for labor and delivery of your new baby.

Question 4

cervix was low hard but open that was 2day's ago, .now it's high and closed and soft i have had unprotected sex .what could it be.

Accepted Answer

Means nothing: Cervical position essentially means nothing. This is not something that obgyns evaluate in a nonpregnant woman. There is no reason to be making any sort of health decisions based on the way your cervix feels. The cervix stays basically closed until one goes into labor. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy.

Question 5

hi im 3 days late and my cervix is low , hard and closed and i know i cant be pregnant because my husband was out of town? what could it be?

Accepted Answer

No conclusions: Cervical position essentially means nothing. This is not something that obgyns evaluate in a nonpregnant woman. There is no reason to be making any sort of health decisions based on the way your cervix feels. The cervix stays basically closed until one goes into labor.  If you feel a mass on your cervix have a doctor verify. If you feel you have uterine prolapse a doctors can check that too

Question 6

i ovulated dec 7 or 8 my cervix is high with creamy white cervixical mucas normaly my cervix is low & hard....could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess...: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. An Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate, if any unusual or worrisome symptoms.

Question 7

cervix is low hard and open but period is late .. i lost 10lbs in the last month on weight watchers .. do you think the delay in period is because of that?

Accepted Answer

: Menstrual cycles differ in every woman. The length of the cycle can vary from 21-35 days and may involve anything from spotting to heavy bleeding. Various life stressors can change the cycle from month to month. Pregnancy, new meds, illness, travel, weight gain/loss, excessive exercise, STD's, endometriosis, and Polyps can cause changes in periods. If your periods continue irregular see a Dr.

Question 8

my period is due today i had spotting 5days ago and my cervix feels low hard and tightly closed. and wet could i be pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

HPT: Just get a home pregnancy test especially if you have been sexually active. If negative repeat in 1 week . Good luck

Question 9

i'm about 6 days late on my period. but my cycle isn't regular due to weaning from breastfeeding. should i test? my cervix is low, hard, and closed

Accepted Answer

Doesn't hurt to: The first morning urine is often more concentrated and can give more reliable results early in pregnancy. If there's a chance you could be, it never hurts to test. However, the urine tests can be less reliable early in pregnancy. The test relies on chemicals made by the developing embryo/stalk and it must get to a certain size before enough is made to turn the test positive.

Question 10

had sex but condom was used and on birth control pill. period 3 days late but came. cervix low and hard the past 2 weeks. could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: The encounter you describe makes it unlikely that you are pregnant, although you could be pregnant from a different encounter
