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.

RE: pessary
...sorry to alarm you, Marie...it's not an emergency...just get it out as soon as you can. I think several other women here can "see" what's going on to have caused another "bulge." Sybille???

RE: pessary
Hi Marie~
I thought I heard my name, so signed on. Pessary problems?
I wore a pessary for one year. Was diagnosed with UP (I) and cystocele (II). I never really found comfort with it and would take it out almost nightly as I couldn't stand having that rubber thing in me. I firmly believe this taking in and out contributed to my rectocele ("small"). I left it out as I knew the tissues were already compromised and I couldn't help thinking I was making it worse.
Ordered the fembrace and that was good. Found this site in March of this year and immediately found relief with the posture. At first, I had such a back ache (lower) and thought I was doing it wrong. I really wasn't, although I may have over extended some muscles. By summer, I was feeling pretty good and wearing the fembrace only when doing physical work around the house.
To get the stubborn pessary out, just prop one leg on the toilet seat and kind of reach in and slowly retrieve it. If the left leg is propped, use the right hand. Then after a nice, warm shower, kisses to the girls, lay in bed and enjoy a self healing Mayan massage. Lay on tummy and then upon waking up in the morning, immediately assume the "posture". If not sure, stand against a wall and make sure your butt, shoulders and head are touching. That should give you an idea of how to walk. Sit and walk in that position. It comes second nature to me now and I even have forgotten to wear the fembrace, although now I am using the v2 when I remember to wear it. Actually, you will present much better, standing tall and no one is the wiser.
Hope this helps. Usually a person with one bulge will go on to have more - but look on the bright side - it is these very bulges that keep everything in place, albeit, not what we are used to. In a matter of weeks, you will feel 110% better - guaranteed.
Take care Christine, on your life's journey. You will come through it, a better person. If anything - your entire being will "become one."
