Do pessaries keep your cervix high?

Apologies for the continual posts...

Googled the hell out of it but can't find the answer. Do progesterone pessaries keep your cervix high? I understand its not a reliable to check cervix position but I understand high and soft is usually pregnant.

Mines high and I can't determine if it's soft. Only know it high because I can still get the pessaries completely in using the applicator (tmi)

Thoughts anyone? Ive read people asking if low cervix leads to bfp or that they've struggled to get the pessaries in but can't find it progesterone keeps if high til otd.

Personally during my first cycle that didnt work one of the first signs for me was that i felt my cervix drop - i was still on pessaries too.

Peoples bodies may be different though? I think i lacked in progesterone fist cycle as i also spotted during 2ww xx

Never spotted in all three of my cycles. I don't recall if my cervix was high or low in previous cycles. Got a BFN today yet my cervix is still high x

I had a high cervix at the start, then it felt low as I could feel it with the cyclogest, but still ended in bfp x

I just don't understand. BFN but high cervix. I'm on utrogestan and cyclogest. Thank you for the reply. Congrats on your bfp! X

My cervix is usually high and soft most of the time in only drops lower after sex and when I’m on a period xxx

I'm not sure what it feels like. Just know that I can still get the pessary applicator the whole way in. In previous cycles I've had af pains 5dp5pt and 8dpt5dt. This cycle literally nothing despite being on the highest amount of progesterone I've ever been on. Ivf is sooooo confusing x

I think our bodies are confusing full stop. Every time I’ve been pregnant it’s been different. My body always feels pregnant when it’s not and when I am pregnant I don’t know lol. Can you not check if it’s soft or hard. Doesn’t sound nice but it may put you at ease xxx

What does the high/low thing mean? I’ve never heard of it? And how do you know if it’s high or low?

Basically during af it's low, ovulating I think it's high and if you're pregnant it's supposed to go high and closed. It's not a reliable indication of pregnancy though. Looking back at my old posts looks like my went low last cycle and I still got a bfp. Makes no sense
