A member asked:

If i been on depo-provera for 2 months can i take metformin to get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metformin is not: Going to have an effect that helps to override depo-provera. It can help some women with polycyystic ovarian syndrome to ovulate but you are going to have to let the depo-provera run its course. Good luck.
