I think I was able to feel my cervix with my finger today, while in the shower. I'm not completely sure if that is what I was feeling, as it wasn't a very prominent bump like my nose is, but I would guess that must have been the cervix.
Oddly, when I used the finger on one hand (I can't remember which was which now), I only felt a small bumpy thing on the left side (not sure what that was) and nothing in the middle. Whereas with the other hand, I instead felt a larger bump in the middle, which I'm assuming was the cervix. I tried twice with both fingers, and had the same results.
After the shower, I tried inserting my diva-cup, and I actually got it in, for the first time ever. These pages showing different folds that can be used, helped a lot:

I used the 7-fold. But I did not feel the cup pop open, and I was not able to grasp the base and twist the cup like the instructions say. I can't fit my thumb and forefinger in far enough to do that. So I am not sure if it is in right, or positioned correctly. But it's in, and it isn't uncomfortable so far. I am worried that I will have difficulty removing it, but I'll deal with that later.
