Well from what I have been told by the other helpful ladies here is that if you cervix is high and closed after o'ing that is a good sign you might be pregnant but if it is low and closed and the opens about the time af is due then yyou likely are not I hope this helps a bit!

Good luck to you

My husband and I have been looking at trying the Fertility Awareness Method as a birth control. I think this is what you are doing. Am I right?

Anway, we haven't started yet. I have to wait until my body adjusts to being off the Pill and I think we might be a little too late anyway (which is why I'm in here in the first place. hee hee).

Like I said, I haven't tried it yet, so I can't know for sure, but I believe the cervix should be firm to the touch and closed (like it is when you're not fertile).

A good book to read on this subject is "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It's in-depth and very easy to read. You can find it at Barnes & Noble Booksellers or Waldenbooks.

I hope I've been of some help to you.
