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.

Menstrual changes with pregnancy/prolapse
Hi Rene
It is a bit hard to tell what causes menstrual changes. I changed from quite heavy 7 day bleeds at irregular intervals to 5 day, much lighter bleeds at 28 day intervals after my first baby, then only had two periods between my second and third pregnancies. I have always had regular periods ever since. However, I have found that my periods have become heavier on days 1 and 2 over the last ten years or so, but are now becoming lighter and shorter as I near menopause. I think my prolapses started after my first baby, but were not significant, only becoming really noticable over the last five years. Since I have been doing Wholewoman techniques the heavy bleeding seems to be a thing of the past, as I think my uterus can now drain more freely, rather than the flooding I used to get, but perimenopause is the other unknown factor in this.
The heavy bleeding has always been managable, and of limited duration so I have never done anything about it. It seems to have solved itself, or something I have done has helped it.
In retrospect the theory of a five day bleed every 28 days from menarche to menopause is a gross generalisation that might fit some women some of the time, but you just have to go with the flow, so to speak. I doubt that anybody fits the theory (which IMHO has been made simple so that medical students can remember it, rather than being in any way helpful to women who have periods for 40 years of their lives!)
Cheers
Louise
