Cervix Question

Hello,

I am on birth control and I had my period last month, but I still am worried that I can be pregnant. If your cervix is open is that a bad thing? I am not supposed to ovulate, but I heard that if your cervix is open, that means you are about to ovulate. I am confused. Please help. Thanks

Hmmmm ... I'm not too sure if I can help you ... but please tell me so I can try to understand ... how would you possibly know if your cervix is opened or closed? I didn't even think that happened. I always thought that you had a small opening in your cervix that the sperm could go through ... and that it was always open (except for when you're pregnant when a mucous plug forms to prevent anything (infection) from getting into the uterus).

Now I'm confused.
