Cervical Position and Ovulation: How to Check Your Cervical Position

When it comes to ovulation, the more you know, the better. If you’re not dealing with infertility, but looking for ways to get pregnant faster, knowing how to detect and tract ovulation can help. If you’re being treated for infertility with fertility drugs, like Clomid, your doctor may ask you to track ovulation to better time sex and to help evaluate whether the drugs are working.

Tracking cervical mucus is the best way to predict your most fertile time of the month, but if you’re taking Clomid, this can become a problem. Clomid has the unfortunate side effect of drying up your cervical mucus.

You could use ovulation predictor kits, but you may want to try detecting ovulation by checking your cervical position. No, really. It’s not as difficult as it sounds, and it’s really neat (I think) to learn how your body works. The more I learn about how our bodies change throughout our cycles, the more amazed I become at the complexity of the reproductive system. But perhaps more to the point -- I've gotten really good at knowing when I'm going to ovulate.

If you’re feeling up to the challenge, why don’t you read about how to check your cervical position for ovulation in this article?
