TMI warning... checking cervix
I don't want to sound stupid but I keep reading about women who are checking their cervix to see 'how high' it is.
I have tried a couple of times this last week but cant help but can't feel anything. I don't know if that is me doing something wrong to check or if it is high...wondering this as AF is late and got plenty yellow tint CM this week.
Any tips on how to actually check it and what am I feeling for?

Hi,
So the way I check my cervix is I sit on the toilet and stick my middle finger (because it's the longest) up there. It feels like a sort of lump thing. The further you have to put your finger in the higher it is. It will feel hard and closed after ovulation and soft and squishy before. If it's open there'll be a hole/dip in the middle that you can put the tip of your finger in to. Sometimes you wont be able to feel it at all. Just stick at it and you'll find it.
