Hi girls,

Maybe I am asking a lot..forgive me..but till now I cannot figure out or imagine what does Cervix mean. How would I know if it is tight or soft, high or low..I don't know. I do not understand the meaning. Could you please explain more. Thanks.

Hi, Lama! You're doing so well hon! I wish I could draw a picture to explain, but I'll have to just try to describe it. Forgive me if I get a bit graphic, but there's no other way....

Your cervix is the opening from your vagina to your uterous. If you insert a finger into your vagina, you can go up until you hit your cervix. Sometimes you can put your finger in just a bit- like until your 2nd knuckle and you can feel it hard(like the tip of your nose). Other times you can reach all the way up and still barely touch it-this means it's high. It may feel hard like before or soft like if you felt the inside of your cheek-kinda squishy. This means it's soft. Beyond your cervix is your uterous and the cervix will be closed through most of your cycle preventing anything from going up through, but at AF(period) and at your fertile time it will open(you may or may not be able to feel that) to let sperm through(at fertile time) or to let blood out(at AF)

Does this help? I hope so!
