[lisamfr]

coss do you check your CP?

That's what I did. I notice it was hight/medium. I checked it ever day. The monring I did my test it was completely gone that's why I tested. So keep checking it in your TWW

 

[Pauls_angel]

Sounds very promising cossi!

P.S. you can't have nana! She belongs in Sydney with me!!!

 

[number2woohoo]

mmm, gourmet buffet breakfast - Cossi that sounds good enough to eat.

I have no idea how to check my cp!?!?! I wouldn't know what was high medium or low nor would I have any idea about what I'm looking for?!

Ababa, it was delicious!! Pancakes and waffles are in my belly now

 

[exilius]

Good afternoon ladies.

Wondered if I might join? Been ttc for 15 months (i think) in Adelaide.

Got my 2nd appointment with fs this afternoon to go over test results

 

[number2woohoo]

Cossi I can't check mine either, it's up the end of my vag and that's about all I can say about my cervix. Very jealous of your breakfast.

Hi exilius, good luck at your appointment this afternoon.

 

[MissieT]

Angel - hope the cramps and headache ease a bit for you soon.

Cossi - I had quite a few days of cramps pre-bfp. Most were just that dull af ache low down that kind of goes into the tops of your legs. The others were a bit more 'stabby'. There were a few times where I had to stop what I was doing or it took me a bit longer to stand up but nothing that made me cry! Not sure if any of that ramble helped. Have a fab rest of your holiday

Abby - I don't reckon it will be long until you'll be sharing your BFP news with your family (hope it doesn't give your Mum more opportunity to discuss CM!) I hope your lunch break was put to good use

Hi lisa - Work is a bit cruisey here - there's a few people in but none of the bosses - just been down to watch the parade and pick my horse for tomorrow Don't mind being here too much today as not back into the office until Fri

Newbie - sorry about af, hope she flys out quickly ready for Sasha month Did you have an interview lined up this week? Can't remember which day sorry......

Hi number2

Hi exilius, good luck at your appointment this afternoon.

Thanks for answering Coss question for me number2 lol

 

[cossime]

Lol!!! Right, so I guess I'll be giving up on checking my cp as I am clueless!! Oh well,I'll just wait and see I suppose-couldn't ask for a better waiting place though so in sure this week will fly by!

 

[lisamfr]

Hi Coss,

Hopefully you get a BFP! Other wise have a read (How do you know if Cervix position is low,medium or high?) & try it in your next cycle. It took me 3 or 4 cycle to get the hang of it.

Early in your cycle, during and just after menstruation and prior to peak fertility when your estrogen level is low, your cervix is low, hard, firm and closed and easy to feel with your fingers. Your cervix lifts and straightens and becomes softer, higher and more open as your fertility increases.

Check the cervix once a day after menses. You only need to check once a day, unlike cervical fluid which you may check several times a day.

Check your cervix at the same time every day as it may change throughout the day.

Use the same position for checking your cervix throughout the cycle as changing positions will change your observation of cervical height.

Empty your bladder before checking your cervix.

Squatting or placing one foot on a stool (or toilet seat) are good positions.

Relax. (You will be able to more easily relax as you gain more experience).

Insert one or two fingers into the vagina. At the back of the vagina, you should be able to feel your cervix. You have found your cervix when you feel something at the back of your vagina that stops your fingers. If you apply gentle pressure you will notice that it feels smooth, round and firmer that the surrounding vaginal tissues.

Feel your cervix and make the following observations:

Is the cervix high or low? (It is more difficult to reach when it is high.)

Does the cervix feel soft or firm?

Does the cervix feel open or closed? (Women who have already had children may notice that the cervix always feels slightly open).

Does the cervix feel wet or dry?

Record observations.
Low: "low" for your least fertile cervical position. This is the position where it is easiest to feel and reach your cervix.

Medium: "medium" for the position between your lowest and highest.

High: "high" when your cervix is hardest to reach. You may not even be able to reach it. You will notice that it feels more wet, soft and open at this time as well. This is your most fertile cervical position.
