A member asked:

I have a polycystic right ovary..will it b harder for me to get pregnant?do u recommend taking metformin to help pcos wmn get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Pcos is associated with not ovulating, and therefore some difficulty conceiving. Most women start ovulating with metformin and some mild weight loss. Other meds are affordable and very effective at helping with ovulation.
