Cervical Position

Ok... so... this one gets me. I have NO idea what I’m feeling for. I can’t find any donut up there!

Below is what I googled. AND there are pictures!! Haha. So I’ve been poking around for days trying to figure it out. I’ll keep trying for the month, but I have NO idea what I’m doing down there!

The positions to know are:

  1. After the Menstrual Cycle: The cervix will tilt toward your rectum following your period. You’ll find that the cervix is firm and closed at this time.
  2. Before Ovulation: As the estrogen levels in the body increase, the cervix begins to straighten, becoming softer and partially open.
  3. Around OvulationThe most important position for women trying to get pregnant is the positioning right before ovulation. This can be determined by a cervix that is vertical, open and very soft.
  4. From Ovulation to Menstruation:Heading back to the first position after ovulation, the cervix will begin to move back toward the rectum, will start to firm, and will be closed. This feels a lot like the position right after menstruation.




The rule is this:

  • Low: Your cervix is low if you are able to insert your finger up to just one knuckle before reaching the cervix.
  • Medium: You are able to insert your finger to the second knuckle (the middle of the finger).
  • High: A high cervix will allow you to insert an entire finger into the vagina. You’ll be able to insert your finger up until the start of the hand.
