Metformin: can sometimes help with restoring ovulation, but not the treatment of choice if that is the goal. Clomid (clomiphene) is far superior if ovulation / fertility is the goal.

Sometimes: Metformin can help for some causes of anovulation such as Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or diabetes. It won't help in other causes such as having low thyroid hormone. Best to follow your Doc's advice on this one! Best wishes!

Metformin & Ovulate: Hi, it is possible that the treatment with Metformin alone fails, in that case Clomiphene can be added to Metformin.
