A member asked:

Does my cervix have to do with pregnancy? i am 3 days late on my period.

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Definitly not: Cervical position is almost completely unreliable. Unless you are actively in labor there is no reason to check your own cervix as it will not help you. Try a home pregnancy test if you want to know if you are pregnant
