Hello, this post is on behalf of my friend I'm currently taking metaformin and have been ttc for 2/3 years I ovulate naturally and I am borderline PCOS i'm an unexplained infertility.
Anyway this month I have just started a heavy period but I am only day 16 of my cycle does anyone have any advice? Should I be taking this tablet I am slim and don't need the tablet for weight loss.. Should I be on Clomid?
Going insane at the moment if anyone has any advice it would be great
Thank you

I have been on metformin for 12 years now for PCOS. It helps with insulin resistance. It's not for weight loss and I don't think it does much to help with fertility other than reduce the PCOS symptoms. I would imagine you should be on clomid at the same time if your cycles aren't regular.

Her periods are very regular, she doesn't have an symptoms of PCOS anyway she was only borderline on having it however she is still unexplained infertility I find it a bit confusing she is even on metaformin

Hopefully she will get sorted.. Just thought I'd see if anyone else is in the same boat .. Thanks for getting back to us :) x

No problem Smile I wouldn't have thought metformin would be first choice for someone without PCOS symptoms either but then I'm new to this TTC game so maybe there's something I don't know there.
