Thanks for using the forum. I am happy to address your questions, and my answer will be based on the information you provided here. Please make sure you recognize that this forum is for educational purposes only, and it does not substitute for a formal office visit with a doctor.

Without the ability to examine and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of the symptoms is. However I will try to provide you with some useful information.

Since I am a neurologist and not trained in cervical complications, I am unable to adquately answer your question. It would be best posted in a gynecology/obstetrics forum. If re-posted, you should provide more information such as any prior trauma to the cervix, your age (i.e., how close to menopause are you), and prior workup. How did you find out your “cervix is high and hard”?

I hope this information will lead you in the right direction. Good luck with obtaining an answer and with the possible pregnancy.
