Hello

Well i have been trying to find my cervix for DAYS!!!!

Ok, so here is a rather dumb question...lol but im so confused...

So today im squatting down... stick the ol finger in, and towards my bum like an inch or two in , i feel kinda a bump, but it feels more like tissue, and it was on the walls, and i could go around it, and stick my finger WAY UP MORE.... so maybe it was just muscle of the vagina or???? WOW... Sorry for all the Inof, but i cant find the darn thing...lol!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!

The best similarity I can give is to think of the cervix as the tip of a penis. Same shape and texture. You shouldn't be aiming towards your bum. You should be aiming up. Try sitting on the toilet and use your longest finger. When you reach in, reach up. You should feel what seems to be like the tip of a penis (afterall, the cervix, if you were a guy would have been the penis. I know that sounds really weird, but it's true. It just didn't have the gene to drop down). You should feel a nub of sorts. You can take your finger and be able to circle it around the thing. In the center of it, there should be a hole. Even when the opening is closed, you should still feel a small hole.


If you around O, you may not be able to find it, because it could just be really high up. But don't give up. If you don't get preggo, it will drop down and feel harder. If you are just now starting to check CP and you are mid cycle, you may not know what your high/low soft/firm feels like. Just keep checking, you do have a cervix :P


I don't know how else to break it down, I hope that helps!

I just recently started checking mine as well. I thought it would be right at the end and I might have trouble reaching it...lol...it was a lot closer than I thought and more pointing up than right at the end...lol. It just feels like a firm lump with an indentation. Hope this helps.
