Lower insulin resist: The best and safest therapy is generally metformin, which can restore normal ovulation and fertility in up to 60% of patients. Metformin lowers Insulin resistance which is the basic metabolic abnormality in pcos>.

Probably not: Metformin is used to treat diabetes. Many women with pcos are diabetic and many of them are treated with metformin. The metformin will not improve your fertility by itsel.
