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.

HI Voni
The pain you experienced after intercourse could well have been ovulation pain.
Many of the other questions you ask could be answered very well by a midwife, especially about ectopic pregnancy. I suggest that you find a midwife to get you started on finding answers. She may be able to take you right through the pregnancy, even the birth, depending on how this works in your part of the world, and what you want to do. Anyway, if you have a midwife you can then take your time with choosing an obstetrician, if that is what you really want.
I get the feeling that your uterus will straighten up as a future pregnancy progresses. However, it sounds like there is a balance problem somewhere, and it would probably be beneficial to get your body straightened out before too long. If your uterus is crooked it could well be because of how it adapts to the way you stand and move. Straighten the body and your uterus may straighten.
I am interested that you have identified a retroversion of your uterus at this stage. This may or may not make it difficult to become pregnant. When you do finally become pregnant and then give birth you may be able to use your body differently to encourage your uterus to antevert as it reverts from pregnancy in the postpartum period.
Whole Woman posture will encourage your uterus forwards in the meantime, but literally tipping any intestines that are pressing it backwards, out into the abdominal cavity, so that the uterus can find its own correct position. Diaphragmatic breathing is the other part of this equation. Expanding your belly with every inhalation will make more room for your pelvic organs at the front of your abdomen.
