My cervix...

[BHBE690]

I am not sure if this is under the right topic. But I went to the Ob-GYN for the first time today (I'm 19) and my doctor said my cervix is towards the right. Now I am very scared. Am I hurting myself by having sex, and will I be able to get pregnant someday?

i dont think it'll be a problem...my cervix is very low and curved, and i had a perfectly healthy baby. maybe someone here has the same thing, but I know mine is similar and it wasn't a problem. (sorry about to give you TMI) some sex positions hurt more than others, and sometimes we have to switch because of how my cervix is, but it's rarely even an issue and it wasn't an issue with pregnancy/ labor&delivery :). just calm down and see what experience other people have, but i think it's not a big deal.

It's not unusual to have the cervix tilted a little to one side, and sex should not affect it. The cervix actually changes position throughout your cycle anyway...from low and firm in the beginning and end of your cycle to high and soft in the middle of your cycle (around ovulation). You might feel it a little more when the cervix is low compared to high, but the fact that it's to the right shouldn't make much of a difference.

You guys just lightened the load by a mile... I am so relieved to hear you guys say that. My doctor put me on birth control, so I had a feeling that it was still okay to have sex, but what concerned me was that she asked me if it was painful when I had sex, and it kind of is sometimes (at first). I wasnt sure if it was because I was hurting my cervix. I just wish it was normal, that way I could just calm down!
