Dammit I can't find my cervix

[beaniesteve]

Seriously - I can't find it. I have tried all sorts of different positions and shoved my longest finger as far as I can and I am not feeling anythig which feels like the tip of my nose.

I can feel sort and squishy things at the side and top front.

Am I just not reaching far enough?

I know my doctor had a problem when I had a smear once - they said I had a small cervix.

Help!

[BrightShinySun]

Are you sure it hasn't just gone really far up because you're about to/are ovulating?

[Blu]

No, can't fnd your cervix either...

sorry!

[beaniesteve]

Will test when I get home, maybe it is. I've only started looking for it today and I am really not sure where to look or what I am supposed to be feeling where!

[largeginandtonic]

It will just be high up, very difficult to find yourself. Dont worry.

What do you need it for

[OrmIrian]

Now. Come on. Have a think. Where did you last see it?



Sorry.

[SheherazadetheGoat]

maybe you could lure it out with biscuits.

[BrightShinySun]

When mine is low I can feel it no probs but at the mo it is high and I wouldn't have found it if I had been keeping an eye on the bugger before!

[Kewcumber]

is there a reward if one of us find it?

[BrightShinySun]

hadn't

[SheherazadetheGoat]

Let the cervix blow high,
Let the cervix blow low,
Down the street in my kilt I go
And all the ladies say hello
beaniesteve where's your cervix?

[Adopts brisk tone in contrast to girlish levity rising on this thread]. Perfectly normal - I've never found mine! [Whispers] you probably just have a - ahem - long vagina. Particularly likely if you're tall.

Here's a tip; when you go for a smear tell them you need a 'winterton' speculum.

[ChopsTheDuck]

I'm really curious as to why you want to find it!

If you are desperate though, lay on your back and prob your bum up n several cushions then try, it's a lot easier.

[beaniesteve]

I will try to get it to show itself with a custard cream when I get hom

I want to find it because I want to see if I can see any changes when I start charting etc. Figured it would be useful to find it first

I am only 5 ft 6 My doctors have never had any problem doing a smear except for telling me I have a small cervix, but they may have meant the opening?

[largeginandtonic]

Hester i went for a smear last week and the nurse said that to me as she went off to get the other speculum. Nice.

I am only 5'3 Beanie

[hester]

It's the long thing speculum specially for ladies who can't find their cervixes. Always makes me think of that ghastly MP.

Anyway, sometimes cervixes get a bit hidden round corners as well. When I was 15 a doctor told me, "Childbirth will sort you out".

[hester]

THIN speculum, I meant.

[lilmamma]

I was told when i went for a smear,my cervix was deep,i think it was my cervix.could have been my womb..Thing is, i have trouble getting a tampon in,after 4 kids,so dont know how, it is so deep,youd think it would be hanging out by now..im 5 foot 0..

[Janni]

I know I left it round here somewhere...

[Blu]

But Hester - perhaps she has unnaturally short fingers?

[ChopsTheDuck]

[beaniesteve]

lol.

I'm going to have another look. Will let you know if I have found it.

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

Could never find mine. Don't care anymore. I know it's there - I forced three kids past it! Was going to use the cap once as a method of contraception but gave up on that idea as my cervix is completely unlocatable by me - way too way up. Smear nurses always comment on my long vag. Once made silly mistake of commenting to one of mine and DH's group of friends that I had a "long vag" which got converted to "big vag" and finally "bucket crutch".. which always seems to get brought up (up not out!) in drunken conversation.
