Pregnant after IF

Glad to be joining you and a question

::waves hello::

Hi ladies. I was going to hold off until after my 1st u/s to join you here but seeing as I have some questions now and I'm sure will have some before my u/s on the 19th, I thought I'd go ahead and post!

My question is: I'm 5w5d today. Yesterday I noticed what feels like some changes to my cervix...it feels...lower...I'm kind of paranoid b/c this is how it feels before my period shows up and everything I've read says it's supposed to be high and soft. I haven't had any spotting or bleeding and have only had mild cramping on and off the past week. I'm just looking for some reassurance I guess!

TIA!

  • Hi Jessica! Nice to see you over here!!!  I honestly do not know anything about this. I am a bit behind you, but if it makes you feel any better, I still have the feeling like AF will be here any day! My nurse told me it was normal.
  • You should stop checking your cervix. It will change periodically, and you really don't want to risk irritation or infection by digging up in there.  :)

    ETA: Mild cramps are totally normal, and with no spotting or anything, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.

  • Thanks for the welcome and the reassurance ladies Smile

    I haven't been physically checking it (sorry, should've clarified that). It just sort of "feels" like it's in a different spot down there than it was the other day (if that makes any sense). Feels like there's more pressure. Thanks IF for making me paranoid!

  • Welcome!  I don't know the exact feeling you are talking about, but I did have major cramping and feelings like AF was coming in the beginning.  My RE's nurse said pretty much every feeling out there can happen during your first pregnancy.  Good luck at your first ultrasound!!
