Grrrh. When I got my bfp last time I knew I was pregnant because my cervix just felt different than it had felt before. It felt rock hard. Mine doesn't usually feel that way and it pretty much always feels a little open. The openness is because I have had a few kids. Well I decided to check mine today and now I wish I hadn't have. It is bursting my preggo delusional bubble. My cervix doesn't feel pregnant. I still do but I only halfway do because a big part of me thinks that I am not going to be able to have more kids and I need to start coping with that. I just don't want to.

Thanks! I needed that. My temp was screwed up today by my barking dog and my crazy kids. My do woke me up at 3am with howling for who knows what reason. Then I sent the dog out of my room because he was annoying me. I think he woke up my kids because they started running around at around 5:30 this morning and woke me up again. So this is why I have an open circle on my chart.

I'm sorry. I had checked my cervix up until ovulation basically, and I felt the noticeable differences before ovulation and during, thing got so high I couldn't even find it! lol! But I haven't really been checking now because I read that it gets confusing and misleading! You're as many DPO as I am, if I looked at your correct chart, or I'm one more day than you. When are you testing?

I think you might be one day ahead of me. I thought you were 6dpo yesterday? Today I am 6dpo. I am thinking I will go buy tests tomorrow and then maybe test Sunday. BUT, I just realized I have 4 internet cheapies here so I may use them before Sunday but I haven't made up my mind on that. I want to see what my chart does.

I don't know how you ladies check your cervix - I try and I can't tell what the heck I'm feeling!!! I would think that at 6DPO, if you hadn't implanted yet, your cervix wouldn't change much at all yet. If one is pregnant, when would the cervix show changes?
