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 Ovulation: The 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.
