Do women's internal organs (cervix, etc.) move during the course of a month?

Question

Sometimes sex hurts, it almost feels as though things have shifted......

Answer 1

Yes things shift from blocking your uterus from allowing things to enter to opening up so that sperm can enter. He is a bit of info on cervical position. It is written for charting, but will explain what you are asking.

Like cervical mucus, cervical position is directly affected by your estrogen levels. Your cervix is the lower constricted part of your uterus that adjoins the vagina and you will find that the position of your cervix will change throughout your cycle. It will be low in the first phase and start to rise closer to ovulation and then will lower again after ovulation has occurred. When charting for your first menstrual cycle, you may find it could take awhile to determine what low or high feels like. You should begin checking your cervical position the first day after completing your period. Cervical position is one of the best signs for recognizing the presence of estrogen in your blood stream. Right after your period, the position of your cervix should be low and easily reached by your fingertip. At the time of ovulation you should find is almost unreachable with your fingertip. Your cervix heightens and becomes more difficult to reach as you approach ovulation. Like your cervical fluids, your cervix is designed to keep foreign substances out of your body, when you are not fertile. It is closed, hard and hostile toward seminal fluids prior to and after ovulation. At ovulation, it becomes high, open and soft so the sperm can easily travel up toward the fallopian tube to fertilize your ovum. Like BBT charting and cervical mucus monitoring, tracking your cervical position is not reliable for prediction on its own. Just because everything seems ready does not mean that you actually ovulate. Like with cervical mucus, the changes tell you what your body is doing right now, and what it is about to do. If everything is working perfectly, you should notice that your cervix is high, soft and open just before your temperature rises. Recognizing and documenting cervical changes is very important to monitoring your fertility when used as a sign for cross-checking.
