Re: Another question - to Mary ShoupFrom: Mary (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 17 Dec 1999 12:25:02 -0600
> *****That's exactly what I was referring to! If you don't mind and > because I don't have the book you recommended, could you further explain > each one of SHOW?***** > ~Meghan Be glad to Meghan! S - soft describes the feel of the cervix. Throughout your cycle (aside from during the time leading up to ovulation) the cervix is more firm, like the tip of your nose. Around ovulation it feels softer, like your lips. H - high means the position of your cervix. At other times in the cycle the cervix is low but during the time around ovulation it is higher up. Some women feel their SO's penis hitting their cervix during intercourse except near ovulation because the cervix is positioned higher. O - open refers to the opening in the cervix, the cervical os. Throughout your cycle it is closed but around ovulation it opens up a bit and if you are charting your fertility signs you can notice a difference. W - wet is referring to the cervical fluid or mucus. Prior to ovulation fertile quality (similar to the consistency of egg whites) cervical mucus is present in the vagina and comes from the cervix. Many women notice it when they go to the bathroom and see a big long clear glob (highly technical, don't you think?!) hanging from their vagina. This is as best I can remember without having the book in front of me. It's close by but I have to get my 21 mos old daughter down for a nap. She's got a cold and is pretty miserable. I will check the book later and if I missed anything I will be sure to add it. Mary
