A member asked:
My dr. made my dose higher of metformin now i'm taking 1500mg will this help me get pregnant if so how long will it take to get pregnant.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The most effective: dose of metformin is 1000 mg twice a day. If you have PCOS, it may help you get pregnant but there is no way to tell whether or how long, Diet, exercise and weight loss will help significantly. Other medications are available for specific indications.
