A member asked:

I have pcos. if i go on medication such as metaformin will i have a period before i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly not: One may possibly ovulate after being treated with metformin and not necessarily having a previous menstrual cycle. This doesn't happen often though.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
