Question 1

cervix seems very sensitive during early pregnancy (4 wks). brown spotting and bleeding after sex. is a test of progesterone level needed?

Accepted Answer

No: The cervical blood vessels can be very near the surface. They are more engorged with blood and become more fragile due to the pregnancy and increased estrogen. The cervix always seems more "touchy" and cramps during pregnancy. All of this is normal. But you should be checked to make sure there is no other cause for your bleeding.

Question 2

hi! i am 9 dpo. besides my sensitive nipples and sense of smell, my cervix is also tender during sex and i have more cm. is this a pregnancy sign?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, no: I'm not saying you aren't pregnant, just there are NO reliable signs or symptoms 9 days post-ov. A pregnancy test is reliable 11 days pot-ov, so be patient and good luck.
