You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

The cervix also looks mildly bulky. I'm unsure if this needs surgery or if medication could help what would you recommend for treatment?
