Another CP question.....

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I know i know, and I lurked, and there are 100 Cervical Position posts and I read about in TCOYF but none of them answer the question of what in the world am I feeling for? Am I looking for an opening? Is the the "stuff" that's on the top wall of the vagina? Am I supposed to be "hitting" something? I googled pictures and tried squatting but I guess i'm still lost....could someone please point me in the direction of my cervix? Lol. Is it the "wall" at the "end" of the vagina? Does the opening feel like a small hole? I'm so sorry, if there's a thread or an article I missed please forgive me and provide a link.

    I've struggled with this, as well. Have you checked out the Beautiful Cervix Project website? It has pictures, so it isn't work safe, but it did really help me get a better grasp on things.

    Hope it helps!

    Edit: words are hard

    Cervical feel, position, opening, and fluid can tell you a lot about your fertility. Combined with temperature charting and OPKs you can know when ovulation "should" be coming making it easier to ensure you are having sex during your fertile window to increase your chances of conception.

    It's just another sign of the fertile phase of your cycle.  Check out "my beautiful cervix" for not-safe-for-work pictures.

    2010: Infertility
