I can't believe I'm even posting this *TMI warning*

So uh. Ahem. I have no idea where to post this, I figured it'd be suitable here since there's always talk of CM and such.

I noticed some unusual CM when I went to the toilet (whitish and clumpy) so I thought i'd try to touch my cervix to get some more and take a closer look. Well, erm, how low is ones' cervix actually meant to be? And what does it feel like? Gosh, you're all going to get a laugh out of this. I could feel something I haven't felt before, like . . . something roundish and squishy . . . with a hole in it?

(Btw that's inside my vagina not, y'know, the vulva or the entrance or anything!) This was just from inserting my index finger so it's not like I was digging around, this was impossible to miss.

Whenever i've had papsmears and such I've found the contact with my cervix to be very uncomfortable but this didn't hurt at all. I could feel it but it wasn't overly sensitive like my pap tests. When I use tampons I find that they simply won't go in as far as they're meant to, I can still feel them in place. Is it possible/likely that I have a low-lying cervix, or that I'm pregnant and that's caused a change in where the cervix is lying? It would explain the CM I suppose.

Sorry again for the time ladies

edit: I also have very mild cramps after doing that now

Its an amazing discovery isn't it! I never really understood it all until I saw the website linked to this thread. A whole new world has opened up to me (literally

).

So that actually WAS my cervix? OMG how did she get the camera up there?!

Maybe I should go to the Dr or something, i've put my finger up there before and never had this experience

I'm worried it's going to fall out or something!

Are you due for AF? cause the cervix moves during the month, and during the day.... And can be lower just before AF is due?

I'm actually late, so yeah maybe. Would that explain the CM? I read that before AF, you cervix is usually firm ("like the tip of your nose") but mine is extremely soft. I'm confused as well cos I've had a fair few cycles in my life but i've never been able to reach it with my finger

Don't stress. The cervix 'moves' depending where you are in your cycle. sometimes it will sit very low and other times very high, it will also have a different texture depending on whether it is open or closed.

I thought it was always closed! Though I guess it makes sense that it would be open when you get AF *duuuh*

Nope the cervix is a funny thing. It moves and opens and closes... Often, after childbirth, it will have a slightly open feel for some. It can change position during the day. It should open with orgasm to suck the spermies up to the egg.

Generally you should expect high, soft and open at the time of ovulation, and low firm and closed pre and post AF. But as far as a fertility sign it is not the most reliable.

As for the cm.... um *scratches head* not sure on that one... You do get increase cm when pg but whitish and clumpy sounds like pre af cm to me (I think)

it has been a while since I have had a cycle so cant really remember...

Can anyone else confirm his for me?????
