another charting question!

princesskate · #1 June 14th, 2008, 01:50 PM

on FF is says something about checking your cervix position. Do i have to do this, is it helpful? Thing is i have never actually felt my cervix before

so i dont know what its supposed to feel like or what position its meant to be in

LOL... K.. First of all, you dont HAVE to... But it does help with FF pinpointed O and it does give you a reeeaally good idea when you re fertile... I had NEVER done it before either.. Never ever! And a girl on another board convinced me to jus TRY lol.. So I (T M I) cut my nails down short.. She said to use the longest finger, usually your middle one... And I (ALSO TMI LOL) used some KY as I had never done it and I was scared it would hurt.. So anyway.. I did it, and I was like oh ######, I knew I wouldnt be able to do it.. what tha hell am I even trying to feel

.. Then I felt around a lil bit more, and VOILA! it felt like a hard, cylinder type thing.. it was kinda low, hard.. and felt NO type of opening what so ever... So.. I did this for a couple days, after 2 days it was Higher, but still hard, and felt no opening.. Then all of a sudden the next day, I was trying to feel it.. And I was like oh god.. where did it go!!! I had to ( T M I ) reach up there, as far as I could pretty much (with the one finger) I could barely reach it, but then I realized it was there, but it was super soft, and I felt like a "dent" Whcih the girl who knows all about this told me, THATS OPEN!!! I totally felt the difference between Hard and No opening to Soft and Open.. It was kinda shocking actually.. Ive only checked my CP like 8 times in total... But I will do it again this cycle, around O time.. Cuz when its High (Almost unreachable) Soft and You can feel a "dent" or a "dip/lil opening" that is FERTILE ... That means Baby Dance! lmao .. Anywhooo Good luck.. You dont have to check it.. but it does help.. Lemme tell you, I am very very squeegy about things like that, (T M I ) but I wont even wear tampons... But this wasnt THAT bad... (Still kinda iffy's me out lol but I can tolerate it)

Thanks for that well i just did it

and (TMI) it felt kinda hard, but then again i dont know how 'hard' hard is meant to be if you get what i mean? it was quite high up, i had to reach quite a bit to find it, and there was a hole in it

i kinda found that by accident and it hurt

eta - ok im trying to put this on FF and how do i know whether it was medium or high or whatever - all i know is i had to reach a bit to find it. and also its open, but how open is medium, open ect....arrrrgggghhhh i hate not having a clue about all this

~DaemonMykailasMum~ · #5 June 14th, 2008, 03:40 PM

Was it like... Hard like hmmmm.... like to the point where you couldnt push it? or when you touched it did it kinda feel a lil soft like you could dent it? It sounds like it may be MEDIUM in Texture.. Not Hard or Soft... and if it was so high you had to reeeaach it would be HIGH... and if there was a hole then thats Open... The lady who was teaching me about it, says when its Wide open, its almost like you could sit the tip of your finger in it.. not POKE it inside lol but set the tip in the dent/hole.. She said when its Hard it feels like the tip of your nose (Yet, that isnt always true cuz some ppl have real gushy noses lol) and when its soft, its more like your bottom Lip.. So if its inbetween that it would be Medium... I would put HIGH - MEDIUM - OPEN... Tomorrow, I bet it will be HIGH - SOFT - OPEN... Which is fertile.. sounds to me like you are fertile right now too tho! I would get BDin!!!!!!

Dont feel bad lol I dont really have a clue either, Im still learning.. But if checking it once a day for a couple weeks, will give you your OWN idea of the stages... Every ones different.. After you O you will notice the difference, it will be CLOSED, in which you wont be able to feel any type of an opening at all.. or like a pin hole maayyybe.. I couldnt feel anything tho.. After that HIGH SOFT OPEN day.. It was still HIGH but it was FIRM and CLOSED... Ask me anything!! And if I dont know the answer I will ask my wonderful CP expert from my other board! Lol

Oh also, Since you said you found that hole by accident and it hurt.. You may experience some light spotting.. Jus because the cervix is really sensitive.. I had light spotting in my Eggwhite cm later that day after checking.. And i was even gentle.. Isnt that Cool in a way tho!?!?! Feeling the Ol' Mighty Cervix that every one talks about when TTC lol.. I thought it was pretty cool .. even tho it was weird the first couple times..

Oh man i wish i could ttc this cycle, im still on the 3mw

im just getting practise in for next month lol.

Hmmm, well it felt hard, but i could squish it a little if i pressed hard enough, does that make sense? And it must be WIDE OPEN, coz the way i found it was when i was feeling around and my finger went in it

not like ALL the way in but you get what i mean?

And i am only on cd6, surely i cant be fertile

but i was talking to sarah earlier and she says she thinks im coming up to O as i had a temp dip and ive got watery cm.

eta - forgot to add ive had a negative opk today though. gosh this is sooooo confusing

~DaemonMykailasMum~ · #7 June 14th, 2008, 05:16 PM

Oh! Your on cd 6!!! Well being Open would perfect sense! Becuase it needs to be open to have AF! So it could jus be still open from having AF... I bet if you keep checking it will close back up, and will start opening back up closer to when you usually O..

Hey you are triyng next cycle?? Me too! And Im on cd 1! Im on the 1month wait from having the d&c! So we are in this together!

We are pretty close in cycles too! Cd1 for me, and cd 6 for you! And this is our Practice Chart month! We actually have alot in common right now! hehe..
