A normal cervix is pink, smooth and shiny, like the mucus membrane inside your mouth. The normal cervix is relatively closed, but it opens and softens during ovulation to allow the sperm easy entry to the uterus. After ovulation, the cervix is hard and produces a thick, cloudy mucus which plugs off the uterus and protects the fertilized egg, if there is one.
