cervix location
I went to get an IUD placed a few days ago, and the placement was unsuccessful (a long story I already outlined in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
iud_divas, resulting in a lot of encouragement and good advice) and so we tried to fit me for a diaphragm. And none of them fit! My cervix is positioned sort of oddly, it's kind of on the front wall (basically on the other side of my navel, but further down) of my vagina, and it's only about half-way in, meaning you can go way past it. So all the diaphragms would just slip past it and none of them would stay put on my cervix, not that they would have been functional during sex anyway. I guess this is an "am I normal" question, except I know that, while we're all different and there is no one perfect design, I must not be because I'm unable to use this very popular method of contraception. Does anyone else have a similar positioning? Also, because it's positioned so weirdly, I have a hard time imagining what delivering a baby would be like. It seems like the cervix should be at the top of the birth canal facing the vulva so the baby can just slide through. I'm having a little "I must be deformed and unable to have kids" crisis, and I know you guys will talk some sense into me. Please?
