Should we stop takin metformin once periods start?

No: What is the purpose for you to take metformin? For diabetes? If it is for diabetes, you should continue take it even with period.

No: Metformin for pcos management is usually taken for long term. Remember pcos is a chronic disease and management is usually for long term.
