Q: Soft cervix and early pregnancy symptoms

asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 6th, 2007

Been TTC my cycle is normally 31 days, my LMP was 4/3/07, I had intercourse on 4/17/07. My Cervix was hard, low and firm until Wed 5/2/07 then it a little high and soft. I expected my AF on Friday 5/4/07 and it's yet to come, my cervix is very soft still.... COULD I BE PREGNANT?

The condition of the cervix (hard or soft) has no meaning during early pregnancy. It seems that your period is late and, therefore, you can consider taking a home pregnancy test. If the test is positive, it seems that you are probably pregnant and then you can visit your gynecologist for an ultrasound confirmation of the pregnancy.
