To know status of cervix opening and ovary functioning you need to get exmained by a gynecologist and to do a serial sonography. Cervix is usually Open. its through this opening that you pass the blood of menses into the vagina. So if your menses are there, it means the cervix is open. The ovary has many functions of which the primary function is to produce egg ( ovum ). This genarally happens in mid cycle. But it may not happen in every cycle!!! So in a woman having 12 menses in 12 months, the ovulation may not happen for few months. Hence the function of ovary is checked by doing a serial ultrasound to guage this ovum production and its growth and to see if it releases the ovum
