My Cervical Charting Mystery!
| Sat, 01-08-2011 - 10:13am |
I just began charting via FAM. I understand the Basal Body Temp, though I still have yet to master it (especially when I forget to turn off my heating blanket in the night and have almost fever like temps in the morning - whoops). Cervical Mucus is easy enough to figure out since I have always kinda watched that in wonder (now I have names for all of it!). But what I can't figure out is cervical position.
Without a reference to compare, I'm having a hard time figuring out if my cervix is firm, medium, or soft. I read that firm = hard cartilage like the nose; medium = slightly softer; Soft = firm lip texture. Oh yea, that's not confusing, haha.

Have you had a baby before, or are you TTC #1? I found it easier to figure out the opening portion after I'd had a baby...because you're never totally closed anyway, but soft/open really felt soft/open, much more than before I'd had #1.
