you should keep your nails cut on the shorter side when you check your cervix on a regular basis to try to avoid this and also to lessen chances of transferring bacteria down there.

It happened to me as well,my nails were a lil long so it happens sometimes....cut your nails before u check your cervix next time n be carefull n check it gently.

I can't say for sure what it could be. It could be any of the above actually. If my nails happen to be on the longer which isn't very often since they are soft I try to use more of the ball of my finger not the tips where the could irrititate the fragile tissues. I wouldn't worry too much about it just try to be a little more careful :) who knows it could have been ovulation spotting as well...it happens!
