Morning everyone

Wondered if anyone could advise please? Been TTC for almost 2 years, diagnosed with PCOS and Just got hospital infertility referral.
I've always had regular periods until last summer when they suddenly became infrequent and have now stopped completely 😳
I'm a little frustrated as doctor is saying this is just part of PCOS but it seems a sudden change to me?! She said she could put me on METFORMIN but I wouldn't be able to get pregnant on it so has asked me to go away and think about it. I have done some research and can't see why it would stop me getting pregnant as it is meant to do the exact opposite!!!

Has anyone had a similar experience or can shed any light? Do uou have to be on the pill with it or something that's all I can think?? Any help would be so much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance xxx

What is the reason yet are saying you can't take metformin in pregnancy? I was prescribed metformin during my pregnancy for gestational diabetes and was told it was perfectly safe

Like literally thousands of diabetic mums take metformin in pregnancy so it's well studied

My understanding was they used metformin in PCOS to help people get pregnant? I'd challenge your doctor on that one x
