We are ttc. My period is due the 31st. I took a first response preg. test the 26 and it was neg. Today I noticed my cervix is slightly tilted, high, kind of soft, and closed. I also have watery cm. I don't want to take anouther hpt yet but does my cervix position mean I am preg. or is this the normal position for it to be in before your period starts?I have no preg. symptoms except a sharp pain in my right nipple.

It's very difficult to tell so early after a missed period. If I were you, I'd wait until next week and do another test. Maybe try a clearblue one.

You should not be messing with your cervix. That is dangerous. That is an area reserved for the doctor. How would you know if its tilted? Only a Dr can determine that.
Wait a while, take another test. As far as the symptoms, not everyone has symptoms. Some not at all. My husbands mother delivered my sister in law, Molly, and she didn't know she was pregnant til she was months along.

~~~This is a question asked many and the answer unfortunately is still the same - one cannot tell if they are pregnant post-ovulation by checking cervical position.
The reason why lies in the two stages the cervix changes to - high and low. Before and after your period, it is low. During ovulation, it is high and "open".
Since it returns to a low position after ovulation - even when pregnant (for the initial first week or two), one cannot feel a difference enough to spot pregnancy.
Cervical position is only used to determine possible ovulation, not pregnancy. It is tempting to check especially when the waiting game is so frustrating!
~~~Pregnancy Symptoms — Early Signs of Pregnancy
Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.
Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.
Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.
Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test
Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.
Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.
Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.
Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

SO DID YOU LIKE GIVE YOUR SELF AN INTERNAL EXAM OR ARE YOU JUST PALPATING ON YOUR BELLY AND FEELING AROUND. THERE IS HONESTLY KNOW WAY FOR YOU TO TELL THIS EARLY BY GIVING YOUR OWN EXAM. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF WAITING AT LEAST UNTIL YOU HAVE MISSED THE PERIOD AND THEN TAKEN A PREGNANCY TEST.EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T WANT TO YOU NEED TO RETEST IF YOUR PERIOD DOESN'T COME WHEN IT IS DUE.

your cervix does go through changes due to ovulation and pregnancy but it does not move or tilt. if it is tilted it has always been tilted
