I can feel a tiny bump on my cervix that wasn't there before. What is it? I have been checking my cervix for mucus for about 4 months now b/c my hubby and i are TTC and the doctor suggested this as something to do so I can chart when I ovulate. There is a bump I can feel now that I never felt there before. What is it and should I be worried. Will it go away? Do you know of any websites that could possible help me out with information on this? thanks!

If you check your mucus every day and have just felt it today, it is probably nothing to worry about. Small swellings and bumps occur throughout the body naturally. If you only check every week or month (which would be kinda useless, but who knows) and you are now noticing a bump, you should get it checked out. A bump that has just appeared should be monitored just in case, but is probably just a small irritation. If the bump becomes painful or increases rapidly in size, be sure to go to your gynecologist ASAP.
I am assuming that you have not had any abnormal pap smear results, especially in the past year. If you have had an abnormal result in your past, call your gynecologist and ask her opinion immediately. I am also assuming there is no unusual discharge, smell, tenderness, or swelling in the area. Any of those symptoms combined with a new bump means you need to call your gynecologist.
I don't want to give you false hope, but early in pregnancy many changes to the body occur, including the area of your cervix. I am not saying this means you are pregnant, but the hormones do cause cervical changes, so it isn't impossible.
Websites with information on identifying strange bumps will usually just give you pictures. While you are obviously experienced with finding your cervix, I doubt you can see it properly, which would make them useless. Pretty much everything else is just going to describe everything from a cyst to HPV as a bump on the cervix. If you feel more information is scary, visit WebMD, they have an excellent women's health section.

Usually these are just nabothian cysts....
Benign, and nothing to worry about.
It should go away.
As long as you've had negative papsmears, so that you don't have HPV or herpes or anythin you should be fine.
don't worry unless you've had herpes or HPV

I'd like to know how you can feel your own cervix. You must have fingers 8'' long.
