    Hi all.. well i jumped O/H last nite cos of operation tommorro, but im not due to ov till fri.. But really bad L sided pain today and my temp dipped, so iv came to the conclusion that i may hav Ov today! Anyway iv heard that some folk check the cervical position but i dont know what 'low and hard' means or 'high and soft' and if your cervix is either of these things then where are you in your cycle.... Im puzzled xx :\?

    i got this from a website, hope it helps

    When checking your cervical fluid or position - insure that your hands are clean and fingernails are not rough.
    There are a few positions that you can be in to check your cervical position. It will depend on what you feel the most comfortable with. Which ever position you choose should remain consistent throughout the length of your cycle. Some women prefer and have no problem checking while sitting on the toilet - other women find it difficult to locate their cervix in this position during fertile time and may need to either squat down on the floor with knees bent and open or putting one foot upon the bathtub or toilet seat.

    With one hand holding back the vaginal lips insert the other hands middle finger into your vagina. Move your finger up until you hit your cervix. It should feel like a rounded cylinder shaped mass within your body.

    The position of your cervix will vary within your cycle. It will be low in the first phase and start to rise closer to ovulation and then will lower again after ovulation has occurred. When checking for the first time and are unsure what low or high should feel like, when high your cervix is almost unreachable with you fingertip.

    Once charting and have gone the changes your cervical position takes on - you will have a better understanding of what a low, mid and high cervical position is.

    not sure it took me a while to get to grips with it all, i cannot feel my cervix when it is high, only when medium or low, so know when i am about to ov and when AF is coming but inbetween is a mystery, i dont really use this i go more along the cervical mucas as this is more accurate
