A member asked:
Can metaformin increase the chances of becoming pregnant? if so, how soon after you take the medication can you become pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you're infertile due to Insulin resistance, such as pcos, then metformin can often increase your fertility within several months. Doesn't work if you have infertility from other causes, or in normal women. It's not effective in all Insulin resistant women either.
