Cervices?

[slemslempike]

The cervix is a lot rounder than I imagined. I was reading Belly Tales, and she linked to a blog where a woman took photos of her cervix every day through a cycle and posted them. Really cool.


I went to see Act Your Age recordings again with humanfemale. One of the guests was Stan Boardman. Sample joke: "I took my wife out the other night. One punch." It was all quite hideous and racist and horrible. He wouldn't stop talking. It didn't get any better. On the train on the way home I read the Virgin magazine, and in an interview (so not even with his "ironic" persona), Jimmy Carr described Nadia Almada as "the she-male". I'm not going to tag this entry as comedy, it's not true.

But I did have some very nice fried chicken, so a trip not entirely composed of bigotry.


I have a lump on the back of my head. I don't know how it got there, and it's quite tender when I poke at it, which I do quite a bit. Hopefully eventually this week my room will be finished and I can move everything back. This morning I woke up to shadowy shapes in my curtained window and thumps on the roof. Then there was a pause, and a voice said "uh, looks like there's a problem here...". So let's just not think about that. I got invited to someone's house for roast dinner on Sunday. I am looking forward to the beef.

Wow, amazing pictures!

And obviously not something you see on a regular basis (unless you're a gynecologist, o'course...). Thanks for the link!

I've previously had a nurse tell me that my cervix was hard to find and wondered how this could possibly be true, but looking at the pictures I see that at certain times it does indeed seem to hide.

Random piece of information, just in case you ever go looking for your own cervix, but having a full bladder can lift the womb and make the cervix more accessible. I discovered that when I had embryos implanted during an ICSI cycle. Apparently I excel at relaxing certain muscles (while people poke spatulas and tubes inside you) and simultaneously hanging onto a bladder full to bursting! Perhaps that's why I'm not bad at bellydancing - it's the whole isolation thing. :)
