The cervix is always on the move throughout the menstrual cycle. As you approach ovulation and at the height of ovulation, the cervix moves up to its highest position. It may move so high that it's hard to reach or can't be found. As you near your period, the cervix drops lower.

Why does my cervix move up and down?

Your cervix changes position many times throughout your menstrual cycle. For example, it may rise alongside ovulation to prepare for conception or lower to allow menstrual tissue to pass through the vagina.
