How high is your cervix?

Strange question I know but I have read that around the time you are ovulating your cervix is very high so that you can only just reach it with your fingers. It is also softer at this time. After ovulation as you approach your period it becomes lower again and harder. Has anyone else tried this out?
I have really long and irregular cycles and I'm looking for all the clues I can to understand what is happening when.

I had a smear last week and the nurse who did it was rooting around for ages. After getting me to sit on my hands and cough she finally found it, and reassuringly added "Oh, you have got one after all!"

jim jams me too! but they alternately call it posterior and retroverted which makes me laugh because I always think of my cervix now as introverted....
makes smears etc f*ing uncomfortable though

Queenie- I've had nurses outside the door saying "I've never seen such a posterior cervix, goodness". Thought they were going to put me on display ;o

Well I don't know how high but last time I had a smear test the doctor and nurse were both looking up my "flue" through the contraption and one was saying to the other, as though I was outside the room, "look it's over there on the left". Now is that something to worry about??
