It's funny, I thought I was checking my cervix for the first couple of cycles and found out that was some other part of my vagina.  Then I found my real cervix and I was in awe and kind of freaked out.  It felt like I was touching my insides.  Some describe it as feeling like the tip of your nose if it's firm and like your lips if it's soft.

Here is link that I found helpful.  I you go down to the bottom of the page there are three links.  The links are of three different women's cervix at different times of the month.. It is very graphic since it is actual pictures, but I found it very helpful.  Until I found this web page, I had know idea what the cervix really looked like or was supposed to feel like.  

Good luck.

I think it feels like a kiwi, ha ha. When it's low that is....You will know it's the cervix, I thought I had a tumor. I googled cervix and got pictures and everything. Now I have a better understanding of it (ugly organ)
