The Cervix
Tunnel between Vagina and Uterus

The cervix opens
and rises
at ovulation
to allow EWCM
to flow out
and sperm to enter.

The cervix closes
and drops
before and after
ovulation
to protect the uterus.
    Checking Cervix
  • The cervix is similar in appearance
    and structure of the penis.
  • The cervix hangs down into the vagina.
  • The opening of the cervix is called the Os.
  • Conveniently, our middle finger is
    the same length as our vagina.
  • When attempting to check your cervix:
    • first wash your hands,
    • squat with buttocks on your ankles
    • gently insert middle finger
      into the vagina
      up towards your belly button.
      You should
      be able to reach your
      cervix to feel
    • if it's open or closed
    • soft (like your cheek)
    • hard (like your nose)
