I have pcos n im on metformin since 6 months had very late ovulation around day 40 and now a positive pregnancy test , is it ok or any risks ?

Metformin: Metformin is a category b medication so as far as we can tell it is safe. There is a lot of data coming out that staying on metformin for the entire pregnancy reduces de risk of pregnancy related complications and the risk of developing gestational diabetes.
