A member asked:
Dx pcos, ttc 16mos. tried metformin. afraid to try clomid (clomiphene) due to adverse affects and family history of colon ca. what else can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: First of all metformin in general is not effective at getting pregnant. It may help your sugars and periods but is not a fertility pill. Clomid (clomiphene) has no effect on cancer of any kind of the colon. Weight loss is helpful but anything else besides Clomid (clomiphene) or Letrozole involves more advanced therapy.
