If you aren't squeamish about touching your own body, this is easy.
Squat, stand, or lay down. Insert your finger into your vagina as far as you can until it hits your cervix. The cervix feels like the end of your nose...perhaps rounder and either softer or harder.
Your cervix can be up and to the left, up and to the right, straight in the center, down and to the left or down and to the right. Laying down makes it harder to reach, but this is the way the doctor sees it.
It's quite hard to tell if it's up or down, but up means it's tilted towards your stomach, down means it's tilted towards your back. Left of course means that it's more to the left side and right to the right.
During your fertile stage this is harder to do, as the cervix will rise higher into the vagina. It will be SHOW...soft, high, open, and wet.
Before your period it will be lower, harder, drier, and closed.
If you've never been pregnant, then chances are it's in the center.
Asking your doctor to tell you where it is may be easier...and it rarely changes, except after childbirth.
