Cervix position

[nej7112]

Hi, I check my cervix daily at the same time. For the past two cycles, my cervix has been high and soft right before and during menstruation, but pregnancy tests are negative. I am taking Vitex and Femenessence MacaHarmony, along with prenatal vitamins and extra folic acid.

Can you help me understand the unexpected position? Thanks!

Sorry but I don't understand what you are describing or what information you hope to obtain.

My apologies for confusion! I am trying to conceive, and one way I am tracking my cycles is by checking my cervix for position and texture change. Everything I have read states cervix is low and hard like the tip of a nose during menstruation and high and soft during ovulation or if pregnant. I'm just trying to understand why my cervix would be in the supposed high and soft pregnant position if I am not pregnant. I'm trying to understand if there is an additional hormone imbalance.

I have been trying to conceive for 15 months (have one biological child) and the only explanation I have for my secondary infertility is my age (I am 35 and got pregnant with my first child at 33 on the 2nd month of trying to conceive).

Thanks, I hope that helps!

As you can see this is njot a very accurate way to track your cycles for ovulation. Itg would be much better to use a good quality ovulation predictor kit and then try the day after it turns positive.

And after 15 months "trying" it is time to see a fertility specialist to see why it has not happened.
