    Hi they usually give you metformin for diabetes but I was given metfirmin for my pcos because this apparently can help reduce sugar intake,:-)and can significantly improve ovulation chances . Your doctor should now swnd you for a monthly progesterone level check, its an emotional rollercoaster when trying for a baby but keep positive x I have been on metformin for five months and to be honest I have lost a little weight but not enough good luck hope this helps:-)

    Hi,

    Could you please let me know, who gave you metformin for PCOS, I have been looking for a Dr. to give this to me, but so far no luck. Could I please have a contact number. I was on this before and it really worked for me. but since this my Dr. passed away, I could not find anyone to give me this.

    thanks

      you normally have to speak to an endocronologist to be prescribed this.
