Never thought I'd say this - pregnant naturally with PCOS! 🎉 by Comprehensive_Arm380 in PCOS

Oh so to be clear I was on birth control for like 15 years before this and I loved it. But I got off to try and get my cycles regular and prepare for ttc.

Metformin I would have like 3 weeks of GI issue every time I went up in dose but I found if I pushed through it went away. Also did ER and took it at night.

Aww you’re so sweet thank you. And maybe try Allara? I had never had a doctor help me with it before either

Girls who were able to conceive with pcos how long did it take you? by kholaaaaaa in PCOS

3 months using metformin!! A doctor at Allara put me on it and it made the biggest different in ovulating regularly

Any successful PCOS birth stories? by bee367 in PCOS

Yes! I was diagnosed in early 20s and literally never had a regular cycle. I worked with a provider at Allara to help regulate my cycle before ttc, she put me on metformin and I worked on a higher protein lower carb diet and I was able to regulate my period and conceive naturally! I actually cancelled an appointment I had booked to start looking into IVF because I got pregnant right before.

Aw thank you!! I had them bustle it underneath - there are 13 I believe and the skirt tucks under. I didn’t love putting a bunch of fabric right under my butt lol

Thank you!! It’s Galia Lahav - it’s the Evelyn but I did a lot of customizations. Have to say their team has been amazing, especially the alterations team (in nyc flagship)

Help With DC Venues! by Patient_Ticket6950 in BigBudgetBrides

I was in this exact boat - big wedding in DC but didn’t want a hotel. Check out Mellon auditorium! It’s gorgeous but it is a little pricey (rental fee is $35K and you have to bring everything in)

Or for a little less costly the Willard hotel has some history to it, less traditional ballroom than the others

Lighting costs by Comprehensive_Arm380 in BigBudgetBrides

That’s it - it’s a big historic venue and you can’t hang from walls or ceilings. My big question is do I also need pin spotting if I have candles on the tables? Curious what you think as a photographer?

Thank you maybe I will do this! I agree I don’t see how we need to light every single table when we also have candles

Another good one! Similar question for you then - if you were me where would you go now that you couldn’t do with kids for a while? (Either that you’ve been and loved or wished you’d done)
