Nurse couldn't find my cervix to remove my coil

I've been a long time reader of Mumsnet but never posted.

We are going to start TTC this month after 8 years together. I am 28 and have never been pregnant before. I was due to have my copper coil removed this morning and the nurse couldn't find my cervix!! This happened once before for a smear test and when I went back the next week it was there.

I know I need some perspective, but today has been in the diary for months, waiting for an appointment and for a good time in our lives. I'd psyched myself up for it and had started to think about actively TTC for the first time. I didn't feel like the nurse spent very long trying to look for my cervix, and just said to come back next week. I know in the grand scheme of things a week is nothing, but I also know that these next few days are my most fertile. As I write this I know it's ridiculous as it's unlikely that you'll conceive in the first month of trying anyway, but there's always a bit of hope/excitement that you might.

Has anyone else had this experience? Do you think it's anything to be concerned about?

Thanks x

On a practical level, balling both your hands into fists and putting them under your bum might make your cervix appear.

I need to do that for internal scans so my ovaries appear. We’re all made of the same parts just positioned in slightly different ways.

Good luck with TTC!
