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.

I don't believe that prolapse causes spotting, pregnant or not. Possibly the hormones are causing the spotting. I'm not famiiar with progesterone suppositories but they sound risky to me, especially considering the well-being of your unborn baby.. - Surviving

Thanks
Thanks for the response. The progesterone is to help support the pregnancy. I've has 2 miscarriages and a stillbirth so my doctor prescribed the progesterone in early pregnancy to help support the lining of the uterus. My prolapse wasn't this advanced when I was pregnant before so the spotting concerned me. My doc and nurse said spotting is common but given my history it makes me nervous.

progesterone
Yes, progesterone is still given for this indication by clueless doctors, but it’s far more complicated than the hormone going straight to the endometrium to simply support pregnancy. To have effects it must go through the bloodstream first and then find its way to progesterone receptors.
Meanwhile, it can easily be turned into the stress hormone cortisol, any of the androgens and estrogens, and a number of progesterone metabolites. There is no doctor, scientist, or hormone expert who can tell you exactly the effect those suppositories are having.
Here is the latest perspective on the fallacy of supplemental progesterone for preventing miscarriage: http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/9829-201606229829
Sending you love and prayers for a successful outcome.

Thanks for the info
Thanks for the article. My doctor not only has me on the progesterone suppositories 4x daily. He has me doing the progesterone in oil injections which are a pain in the ass, literally. My behind is black and blue from these shots.
The spotting seems to have subsided so I'm taking it easy and hoping for the best.

pain in the a**
...especially when you consider doctors are getting kick-backs from promoting these drugs.
