PCOS metformin help

Hi, I am ttc baby number 1 & suffer with pcos..
I'm taking metformin ATM, also taking folic acid every day to prepare for hopefully conceiving! Has anyone else used metformin with any other supplements that you've heard or experienced are good to help?
E.g. Evening primrose oil? I know it's supposed to help with lady problems, but just a little worried that it will interfere with whatever the metformin does. Or maybe it would help?
Any other supplements or anything any of you ladies have found helpful would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you! X

I took metformin alongside folic acid and conceived in the first month. Although I'm not sure how bad my PCOS is/was as I still had regular periods. I used OPKs too, good luck!

There's a supplement called Profertil. The female version is designed with PCOS ladies in mind ( from what I remember).

Thank you!! Mine used to be quite bad I could go almost a year with maybe only 1 or 2 cycles. Now I'm every other month or so... before taking the metformin. So hopefully whatever was going wrong has improved a bit!
Thank you. I'll have a look up on profertil as well :)
