Am I Ovulating?

Question:

Okay, I know this is a rather private topic to talk about for most people. But I decided to bring it up anyway, hopefully if it's a symptom I'm helping out other women too.

Is it true, that if you are ovulating that the distance between your cervix and your vagina will seem really short and/or that you will not be able to really tell what's your cervix from your vagina? Usually I the distance from mine is long, and today I checked and it's really short and is almost hard to tell the difference between the two. My cervix appears more open right now than closed tight like it usually is. Anyway, are there any more ways of telling about when a person's ovulating?

Thanks for reading. :) Again, sorry to bring up such a private topic, just had to ask.

Answers:
Actually, it's the other way around. While ovulating the cervix does change, there's a mnemonic for it SHOW: soft, high, open and wet. Before and after ovulation the cervix is low and closed and feels like the tip of your nose. Other signs to watch for when ovulating are the increase in body temperature and the change in your discharge. Your discharge will become clear and stretchy, almost like egg whites.
Some women can even feel when they ovulate (about 1/5th), me being one of them. It's either felt as mild aching to twinges of sharp pain.

i dont know if your ovulating because the same thing happened to me when i was actually on my period. so yaa

I have never hear or read anything like this before. The only time I know of when a women's cervix changes is during pregnancy and during the early and mid stages of labour.
