Question - if you check your cervical position

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I read that you're not supposed to check your cervix right after sex, because it changes position due to arousal. Do you know if this means within a few minutes after, or a few hours after? Or does it depend on how long you stay aroused?

I'm assuming that checking it at the same time minimizes the liklihood that you're detecting a change that's not related to fertility, but I just found about the sex aspect...

    I would say a few hours after. Why would you check it after sex anyways? LOL Yuck!

    ha! Yes, there's the mess factor; I wasn't even thinking of that. I mean if you check at the same time every day, how much time after sex should it be? I checked today 2 hours after and it was higher. I didn't know if that could be bc of prior sex.

    I would guess the amount of time it takes for the rest of your body to recover from arousal since it is an arousal response and I would think that 2 hours would be enough time. You could check it again just to see or wait until tomorrow and see if it still seems higher.

    Hmm..I don't know. Honestly I always check mine as soon as I get up in the morning and don't usually have morning sex. The only thing I can find is too aviod checking it after sex or when you're aroused, but it doesn't give a specific timeline.
