Is My Cervix Normal?

I'm 17 years old and have noticed that my cervix is not what it looks like in the diagrams i've seen.  sorry to be graphic but if i use my finger to feel it i barely have to insert my whole finger to reach my cervix... is this normal? It seems very low.  and also it is long and kind of pointy shaped also but i do feel an opening. when i insert tampons it seems like they go kind of behind my cervix.  it just seems to be oddly shaped and not located in the right place.  but i have had sex and it feels fine it doesn't hurt me or anything.  I don't know if this is something i should be concerned about

Ok thank you.  I really want to go to a gyno but my parents don't know I'm having sex and my mom is the type that would stay in the room and make sure the doctor didn't hide any information from her.  I'm planning on going to planned parenthood to get checked but planning that is kinda tricky without my mom finding out.  but yea the shape of mine is what concerned me most but i'm glad that it's nothing to be concerned about

i feel this too, and have read things similar to this indicating it is normal even though it seems strange! as far as i know, its nothing to be concerened about, also when you are aroused your vaginal tunnel, or whatever its called retracts so its not like its in the way! hopefully someone with more knowledge will comment,  however hope this was helpful!

During your cycle days your cervix changes. Before ovulation it is low and after it is high, then after ovulation it returns to low. It is normal for the changes in the cervix to happen at different times and you are not unusual. If you have any real major concerns then you need to see a gyno (and if you are having sex you need to see one anyways if you haven't already) but you sound perfectly normal from a "normal" female perspective. =)
