Has anyone gone on birth control to stop periods and lessen symptoms?

Wondering if this might help? My symptoms are worse when I'm ovulating and menstruating so wondering if I should try this.

Maybe it'd be better than the estrogen cream?

Or should I try both?

Would love to hear from others who have tried either. I'm stage 1 bladder and stage 2 uterus. Thanks

My prolapse progressed from stage 1 to stage 2 this week

I become aware/became stage 1 after trying Couch to 5k running (literally just two gentle runs with pauses for walking) about 6 weeks ago. I've been seeing a pelvic floor specialist physio almost weekly since and doing the exercises twice daily. Last week she since me off for using some weights in the exercises. So I did bicep curls (seated for safety) with 5kg weights for a couple of days.

Well now I've had two days of bulging feeling, terrible back and pelvic pain and I've progressed to stage 2 with something outside for the first time.

I feel utterly depressed. Planning to try estrogen cream and a pessary.

Has anyone ever had their prolapse move up a stage so fast? I feel panicked, like I'm in a living nightmare. Is it normal or am I really unlucky??

Please share your experiences, tips or anything that might give me hope or just more understanding!
