During ovulation the cervix is high, soft and open. After ovulation the cervix is low, firm and closed.
It is not as simple as that. In some cases the cervix goes the other way. Mucus production is a more reliable sign.
"Some of the problems with MI (Manual inspection of the cervix position) were: difficulty with diagnosis, lack of time and space to practice it everyday, anxiety over possible infection and/or pain caused by touching, and ignorance about sexual organs. In timing ovulation, the accuracy rate of the new rhythm method was 87.9% in BBT+CM+MI, 75.9% in BBT+CM, and 51.7% in BBT only. In 85.7% the external uterine orifice raised at ovulation, while in 14.3% it lowered. Average shift in position from the lowest to the highest was 2.4cm-2.5cm. Other aspects of the uterine orifice which can be manually inspected are degree of its aperture and hardness."

When is it THE MOST EASIEST to get pregnant?
During ovulation. U can tell this by checking your cervical mucus and cervix position. Ur mucus will go from tacky and pasty to clear and slippery like egg white. You will be able to stretch it between about an inch before it breaks. You have to get this sample from your cervix. While you are there, check ur cervix. Before ovulation it is firm (like ur nose) and hard to reach. The closer to ovulation it will become soft (like your lips) and low.
Would your cervix open before ovulation day?
Yes, it is open during ovulation. A trick to remember is SHOW (soft, high, open, and wet). This way sperm can easily pass through the cervix to the uterus and fallopian tubes. After ovulation it closes again. You must remember that your cerical position changes frequently and it is different for each woman. A good way to see how your cervix reacts is to consistenly check it at different times throughout the months.
Where is the cervix located if you are 10 days from your period?

Where should your cervix be 2 days before your period?
The position and feel of the cervix can change throughout the menstrual cycle. Generally, two days before your period, the cervix is typically lower in the vagina, firmer, and the opening (os) may be slightly open in women who have had children and closed in those who have not. Here's a brief overview of the typical cervical changes throughout the menstrual cycle: Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): The cervix is low, firm, and the os is slightly open to allow menstrual blood to pass. Follicular Phase (Days 6-14): After menstruation, the cervix starts to rise, becomes softer, and the os gradually opens as ovulation approaches. Ovulation (Around Day 14): The cervix is high, soft, and the os is open to facilitate the passage of sperm. Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): After ovulation, the cervix lowers and becomes firmer. The os starts to close if fertilization has not occurred. So, about two days before your period (typically part of the luteal phase), you can expect your cervix to be low and firm, and the os to be more closed if there is no pregnancy. However, it’s important to note that cervical positions can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience the exact same changes.
What is the position of the cervix during menopause?

Where should the cervix be in early?
During ovulation the cervix is soft, high,open and wet. Around the time of menstruation the cervix is low and hard. I've heard OB/GYNs making this analogy when referring to a pregnant vs. non-pregnant cervix: A non-pregnant cervix feels like a hard, unripe piece of fruit, while a pregnant cervix is more like an almost over-ripe plum. It becomes very tender and engorged with blood, especially early on in pregnancy.In the early stages of pregnancy you may notice that your cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. You may see the change in your cervix shortly before your period is due or you may not feel this for several weeks.As the pregnancy progresses you will probably have an increase in vaginal discharge, but the cervical mucous is fairly minimal during pregnancy. Some women may notice a change in their cervix in very early pregnancy but cervical position is not a good sign of pregnancy. That is because the cervix changes not only from woman to woman but from day to day and could even be different in the same woman at different times of the day. I would recommend to check your cervix right after your period ends and check it every day, at the same time, in the same position. That way you know how your cervix is suppose to feel at what point during your cycle and if it doesn't feel that it's suppose to you could use that to help you determine pregnancy. For a woman that doesn't check her cervix regularly I would say it's next to impossible to determine if she's pregnant or not by checking it. Your cervix should be high just like during ovulation, except closed. It will also still feel soft, more like lips. Unless you've been checking your cervix consistently there is almost no way to tell where you are in your cycle through this method. Remember to wash your hands before you check, but other than that, you should have no problems with infection. Just don't get your hopes up that you'll be able to detect pregnancy through your cervical position, especially if you haven't been monitoring it's position already.
Exactly what should the position of the cervix be at the time of menstruation?

Can a cerclage be done if your cervix are closed?
That's the best time to perform the cerclage! When the cervix is open, there is a risk of puncturing the amniotic sac, and of infection. If you are dilated more than 4cm, it usually can't be done at all!
