Cyclical changes in prolapse symptoms

Body: 

Typically, on the first day or two of my cycle, I have almost no symptoms. Someone said that made sense because the uterus is lightening by shedding the lining. I have a primary cystocele and also up. Anyone else like this? Christine, if you are in, any thoughts? Hormonal? If so, can it be bottled??

I notice cyclical changes in prolapse symtoms for sure. For the first two weeks in my cycle I have less symptoms and the closer I get to ovulation the worse I feel. I feel more pressure. After ovulation I feel more and more better as I near menstration. Then for the first few days of menstration I feel a lot of pressure.

The changes are very real and need to be responded to with rest and nourishment.

No one experiences cyclical changes more intensely than a woman with an adenomyosistic, prolapsed uterus, as mine was throughout my forties and early fifties. Please understand, young women, that menopause is a GIFT for those who persevere...an incredible lightness of being.

I'm coming up to six months postpartum and my baby is fast going off breastfeeding.. I still do three (tiny!) ones a day but I know I can't keep it going long as he's just not interested. I'm terrified of periods starting and things feeling worse, although some say things improve a little when breastfeeding stops. I know when I cut down on feeding I had less symptoms but that could have been coincidence. I had a really good run of about 3 weeks, then worse again for 2 and back to medium now.. it's so changeable but I'm scared of doing anything to make it worse! Any thoughts?
