This is so embarrassing! 
Has anyone else tried examining their cervix to monitor ovulation? I read about it on baby4you and have tried it this cycle, it gave me a real good idea of when I would OV. Usually I would use and OPK until CD13 but because of what my cervix was doing I did one yesterday and it was positive, if I had waited I probably would have thought I didn't OV this cycle. OK so this is way TMI but I found in really interesting writing down what my cervix was doing each day, it gave in such a clear picture of what was going on. Not to mention I had no idea what my cervix looked like let alone felt like! I can't believe something so tiny can open to 10cm during labour! No wonder it hurts so much! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

On baby4you it explains how to find and things like that, I reckon it's worth a try if you OV at different times each cycle. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Hi Helen, yep i do, every day in the shower, as i dont use a OPK. It's a bit wierd at the start, it's amazing to see whats going on in there, and how it changes through the cycle. What I like about it is being able to tell that that your period is coming..... but would rather it wasnt..lol. |

Yay! I'm not the only one! The website said what it was ment to do leading up to OV but is it meant to do something different if you are pg? I only did it up to OV cause that's all I read about. I'm a bit clueless really, I had no idea where my cervix was up until a few weeks ago! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
