A member asked:
Can you get pregnant from taking metformin ? 500mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allow not "get": If you have pcos, metformin can "allow" you to become pregnant by decreasing your Insulin resistance. However, it usually requires a high dose than 500 mg a day. 2000 mg/d is the most effective dose. Talk w/your doctor.
