i keep hearing people say about checking your cervix.  what exactly are you checking for and during what part of the cycle are there changes?  is it softer if your pregnant? harder during ovulation etc.  if someone could clarify.  i'll be due to start AF any day not sure if pregnant yet.  test showed negative but could have been too early and my cervix feels more like tip of nose.

If you are pregnant now it is probably too early to tell from your cervix.  Here's how it works though:  In the beginning of your cycle your cervix will be lower and firmer.  The opening will also be more narrow, but this may be really hard for you to detect.  The closer you get to O the softer your cervix will get.  It will feel a bit mushy, like your lips.  It will also be raised and the the opening will be wider.  You should try to check about the same time every day.  Some women check twice a day b/c apparently it can rise very quickly.  Just make sure to wash your hands well and rinse off all of the soap.  You don't want to end up with a UTI.
