cervix question

how is your cervix supposed to feel right before you get your period as opposed to when you are pregnant?? TIA

Re: cervix question

Great question. I am getting to know my cervix in a way I never wanted to. I wanted to know too so I looked it up for you:

"When pregnancy occurs, the cervix will rise up and become soft, yet the os (what they call the topening to the uterus) will remain tightly closed. This occurs at different times in different women. Some women may find that twelve days after ovulation their cervix will do this and is a probable pregnancy sign. Others won’t experience this until well after the pregnancy has been confirmed."
