of your cervix being purple as being a sign of pregnancy? my gyno says that if you are pregnant your cervix is purple and not pink anymore.

Yup. Its one of the ways to confirm pregnancy. They checked mine when I went in for my first appointment.

It's called Chadwicks Sign... Here's a description.:

Chadwick's sign: Dark-blue or purple discoloration of the mucosa of the vagina and cervix during pregnancy.
