Delayed Periods By 5 Days. Could I Be Pregnant?
I am late for my period, 5 days now. From a previous pregnancy I have learned that the uterus closes and goes higher into the vagina. Like you need to stick your finger in at least 2 inches to find your uterus. My uterus is still low and open but not as open as it would normally be when my period is about to arrive. I internally check myself often so I know how it feels. could I be pregnant?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The position of the cervix does not matter but if the feel of the cervix is soft rather than the firm one, then a pregnancy is likely. But it needs to be confirmed after a urine test.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
