Coalition Launches Check Yourself Campaign

Your cervix matters! Check yourself is about learning how to perform a cervical exam on yourself to understand your own anatomy and reproductive health.

It's easy! Take your panties off and sit or kneel somewhere comfortable. Use some lube to make it more comfortable. Reach your two fingers inside your vagina. Your cervix usually has the texture like the end of your nose. At the end of pregnancy it can feel very soft like your lips. There's a slit (if you've had a baby before) or a circle in the middle of it. When you touch your cervix it will tickle slightly.

Checking your cervix can tell you when you're in a fertile window by telling you how low or high your cervix is. When you're fertile, your cervix produces a stretchy mucous which has an egg-white appearance. In labor you can check your cervix to see how far along you are. You are the most important decision-maker in your health care!
