When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

hormones
The hormonal shift around ovulation is pretty extreme. Estradiol (estrogen) drops sharply and progesterone rises conversely. One of the main reasons this happens is to soften and relax the uterus in case implantation occurs, so it makes total sense that it would effect POP as well. I'm sure there are other reasons as ell but that is the main one that comes to mind.

changes in the month
i think lots of us notice changes, and they differ but can be mapped in each of us. mine is worse right before my period, but i don't really even notice it much now unless i go looking whilst early on it was soooo noticeable. but if i do go looking, i do find my uterus much lower. the only really noticeable change then is that i get constipated the week before my period which if i'm not careful does affect things.

I get the same symptoms
At ovulation and about 3 days before my period, I get "bulgy" again. I also get mild PMS symptoms at ovulation too. So...I feel the same way. It's the hormone fluctuation.
I also tend to get super constipated at these times. I find taking Miralax helps SO much. And my gastrointestinal doctor said its not habit forming (like other laxatives). I also try to avoid white flour, dairy, and meat.
