Know where your cervix is located. The cervix is the lowermost part of the uterus, where it connects with the vaginal wall. It is located 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) inside the vagina, at the end of the vaginal tunnel. It is shaped like a small donut with a tiny hole in the center.
The opening of the cervix is called the Os.. When attempting to check your cervix make sure your hands are washed and your nails well trimmed. Squat with your buttocks on your ankles, gentle insert a finger into the vagina up towards the belly button, the opening of the cervix is located near the front of the vagina. Sometimes it helps to use a mirror. An open cervix will feel soft, high, open, and wet.

During ovulation the Os lifts allowing the let down of vaginal secretions and allow sperm to enter.
