A member asked:

I have pcos and on metformin can i fall pregnant as me and my boyfriend have been trying for 34 years now and its really depressing me as i want a bab?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Metformin can help polycystic ovarian syndrome patients ovulate. Metformin alone may not be enough. A low glycemic index diet is very helpful and also potentially ovulation induction medications such as Clomid (clomiphene) or Femara will help.
