I curiously investigated my cervix a few times over the years, but now since mc and D&C I am trying to check it to figure out when/if I'll O. I have 2 kids, 11 & 12, didn't ttc again until this pg that lasted 9 weeks. I looked up how to check cervix for fertility signs (even found some cervix pix), and am trying to figure out mine. (TMI follows) I've read that when we're not fertile it should be firm, low, closed, and dry. When we are fertile it should be soft, high, open, and wet. Mine's so soft it's mushy (all most floppy), and it feels like the opening is a long line. How normal is that? Has anyone else checked theirs after mc / D&C? I'm sure it won't be a little dot again, but when will it feel normal, or will it, and what's normal?

Noticed that I forgot to mention bleeding mc was Jan 28, dnc Jan 29 so mc 21 days ago. Is any one else still leaving this page up all weekend and clicking refresh between laundry, cooking, housework, dishes ect.? ....because I tell myself I'm over it and I can't stop thinking about it when I'm not busy at work. WHEN does this get BETTER????????

hi! I'm not sure about the cervix thing. I've been checking cm everyday and mine always feels soft. I read that firm low and closed is supposed to feel like the tip of your nose and high soft and open should feel like your lips. I haven't been charting any of the cervix positions. I do think this month is whacked though because I had "fertile" cm for like a week or longer which I never did before. Based on temps and cm I ovulated, but all I had was cramps on one day, the 10th. Nothing else. Normally in the past I would have breast tenderness, etc. and I don't have any. I'm probably going to have to wait until AF comes to feel back to normal.

I don't know about the cervix as I don't ever mess with mine, but I can totally relate to the page refreshing. I've been stalking this site in general for awhile, and most recently just this section since my m/c. And I've lost interest in most everything I once enjoyed (I think mild depression) so some days I just sit here refreshing, and reading really old topics when no one appears to be one, and in between that reading information on other websites and stuff. I think in my case at least its going to continue until I am pregnant again, and then I will be doing it for that reason! lol. I'm such a forum-junky right now. So don't feel bad, you certainly aren't alone there! I hate when no one posts anything between refreshing, its such an empty feeling to see no new posts! =)

here's a post for ya! ha ha...actually i can totally relate. I feel really bad for my bf because he's been down too and when he wants to spend time together I am on the computer. He wanders into the office and then wanders out and I feel awful now thinking about it. It is comforting to me on some level in a way that staring at the tv doesn't help. I should probably reach out to hima bit more...
