One such natural clue? The&nbsp;position of your cervix! And we&#8217;re happy to say that this is just one more detail you can track with Ovia to get a better sense of your unique cycle &#8211; including when you ovulate.<\/p>\n<h2>How Ovia can help you check and track your cervical position<\/h2>\n<p>Ovia\u2019s algorithms help you check and learn when you\u2019re most (and least) fertile by interpreting the data you track &#8211; including moods, cervical mucus, temperature, and the position of your cervix &#8211; to give you &nbsp;a daily fertility score. The more you track, the more accurately Ovia can predict when you\u2019re ovulating.<\/p>\n<h3>How does cervical position indicate ovulation?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re ovulating, your cervix will feel high up, making it harder to reach, and it\u2019ll feel soft and open. This openness allows any sperm in the area to enter your uterus and potentially fertilize an egg waiting there. In contrast, your cervix will feel low, hard, and closed when you aren\u2019t in the fertile part of your cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick reference guide to how your cervix may feel during different fertility levels and cycle times, including during pregnancy:<\/p>\n<h4>Ovulation<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Position: High (hard to reach)<\/li>\n<li>Firmness\/Texture: Soft (like your lips)<\/li>\n<li>Openness: Open (tip of your finger can rest in the little divot, more circular)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Fertile window (approaching ovulation)<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Position: Medium<\/li>\n<li>Firmness: Medium (like your chin)<\/li>\n<li>Openness: Medium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Not fertile (both follicular phase and luteal phase)<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Position: Low<\/li>\n<li>Firmness: Hard (like the tip of your nose)<\/li>\n<li>Openness: Closed (like pinching your fingers)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Pregnant<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Position: High<\/li>\n<li>Firmness: Soft<\/li>\n<li>Openness: Closed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cervical position is one of many natural clues your body gives you about when you&#8217;re ovulating.
