Does your man have low sperm count? You should ask him or have him check himself at the doctor too. Otherwise you could waste your time for years waiting around.

The only person that can tell you if it has to do with your cervix is your doctor. If you are under age 35 and have been trying for at least 6 mo - a year, you need to see your doc. There are other factors that could cause you not to become pregnant. You might not be ovulating, your tubes could be clogged, your husband could have a low sperm count, or your body could even be allergic to your husband. All things the doc needs to test you for, and then help you to get pregnant.

Hai,
The uterine cervix plays a pivotal role in the transport and capacitation of the sperm after intercourse. The cervical factor accounts for 5-10% of infertility. Cervical mucus production, amount, and characteristics change according to the estrogen concentration during the late follicular phase.
At the beginning of the menstrual cycle, cervical mucus is scanty, viscous, and very cellular. The mucus forms a netlike structure that does not allow the passage of sperm. Mucus secretion increases during the mid follicular phase and reaches its maximum approximately 24-48 hours before ovulation.
The water and salt concentration increases, changing the physical characteristics of the mucus. It becomes thin, watery, alkaline, acellular, and elastic (spinnbarkheit) because of the increased concentration of sodium chloride, despite a fernlike pattern when the mucus is allowed to dry on a cover slide under the microscope (see Images 1-3).
At this point, the mucus organizes itself, forming multiple microchannels so the spermatozoa can travel through. During this journey, the spermatozoa simultaneously undergo activation and capacitation (Overstreet, 1986). In addition, the mucus acts as a filter for abnormal spermatozoa and cellular debris present in the semen.
Cervical-factor infertility refers to abnormalities of the mucus-sperm interaction. The PCT is also known as the Sims-Huhner test (Giner, 1974; Hull, 1982; Portuondo, 1982; Overstreet, 1986). The test consists of evaluating the amount of spermatozoa and its motility within the cervical mucus during the preovulatory period. The couple is asked to have intercourse, without the use of lubricants, 8-12 hours before the test. Although several articles have shown a higher sperm concentration 2-3 hours after intercourse, a longer interval of 8-12 hours provides the opportunity to evaluate sperm endurance.
The mucus characteristics that determine a positive PCT test result are a volume of 0.3-1 mL, spinnbarkheit greater than 10 cm, a ferning pattern, occasional cellularity, and a sperm count of 10-20 per high-power field (eg, 45X motility forward progression).
The timing of the PCT is crucial for the interpretation of results. If the PCT is scheduled too early or 24 hours after ovulation, a false-negative finding is the most likely result. Therefore, performing the test around the time of ovulation is recommended. If the patient has a 28-day menstrual cycle, the test should be performed on approximately menstrual cycle day 13-14. If the patient has menstrual irregularities, using a urinary LH kit to predict the preovulatory LH surge is advised in order to have a reliable PCT result. Changes in the basal body temperature (BBT) chart indicate ovulation. Although a BBT chart (see Image 59) taken during the menstrual cycle has been used for decades, the results from analysis are always retrospective and are misleading in approximately 20% of cases (Lenton, 1977).
An abnormal PCT result may indicate (1) poor timing, (2) hostile cervical mucus related to cervicitis (eg, bacteria/yeast), (3) low pH, (4) sperm antibodies, (5) poor technique during intercourse (eg, premature ejaculation), (6) undiagnosed male factor infertility, and/or (7) anatomical defects (eg, due to DES exposure in utero, cervical cone). An abnormal PCT result must be repeated in subsequent cycles before a final diagnosis is made. Note that an abnormal PCT result does not preclude the possibility of a spontaneous pregnancy; therefore, be cautious to avoid a premature final diagnosis.

it might, you'll have to consult a doctor. I've never had surgery and it took almost a year for me to get pregnant.
