Changes in the Position and Firmness of your Cervix
Your cervical position is an optional, secondary fertility sign.
When you are approaching ovulation, your cervix will be high and soft (and you may notice that it feels more open also).
When you are no longer fertile, your cervix will feel lower, more firm and you may notice that it is more closed.
Checking your Cervix
To avoid the possibility of infection, always check the cervix with clean hands.
Check the cervix once a day after menses. You only need to check once a day, unlike cervical fluid which you may check several times a day.
Check your cervix at the same time every day as it may change throughout the day.
Use the same position for checking your cervix throughout the cycle as changing positions will change your observation of cervical height.
Squatting or placing one foot on a stool (or toilet seat) are good positions.
Relax. (You will be able to more easily relax as you gain more experience).
Insert one or two fingers into the vagina. At the back of the vagina, you should be able to feel your cervix. If you feel something at the back of your vagina that stops your fingers, then you have found your cervix. If you apply gentle pressure you will notice that it feels smooth, round and firmer that the surrounding vaginal tissues.
Feel your cervix and make the following observations:
Is the cervix high or low? (it is more difficult to reach it is high)
Does the cervix feel soft or firm?
Does the cervix feel open or closed? (Women who have already had children may notice that the cervix always feels slightly open).
Does the cervix feel wet or dry?
Do you feel any bumps on your cervix? (If you feel bumps that do not seem to be related to your fertility pattern, talk to your doctor right away)
Position Your cervical position may be: low, medium or high. Your cervix heightens and becomes harder to reach as you approach your most fertile time.
Low: This is the position where it is easiest to feel and reach your cervix.
High: You may not even be able to reach it. You will notice that it feels more wet, soft and open at this time as well. This is your most fertile cervical position.
Firmness At your least fertile time, both before and after ovulation, your cervix will feel the most hard and firm, a bit like the tip of your nose. As you approach ovulation, your cervix will soften, feeling more like your lips.
Firm: Your cervix will likely also be low and quite easy to reach at this time.
Medium: You may feel this just before you approach your more fertile time before ovulation and after ovulation as well.
Soft: It will probably feel quite wet and high at this time as well and you may even notice that it also feels open. It may be hard to reach. This is your most fertile cervical texture.
Openness Not everyone is able to observe this sign, but you may also notice that your cervix feels more open when you are most fertile.
