The tightness of the cervix varies depending on where a woman is in her menstrual cycle.
According to the reference, the cervix's firmness changes throughout the menstrual cycle. Here's a breakdown:
- Around Ovulation: The cervix is soft, like your earlobe, slightly open, and positioned high in your abdomen.
- Other Times: The cervix is firmer, like the tip of your nose, tightly closed, and positioned lower in your abdomen.
Therefore, at times other than around ovulation, the cervix is tightly closed.
