Hi, I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), my doctor suggested me to take Glucophage as part of infertility therapy. Does Glucophage work to get pregnant?

PCOS is characterized by infrequent menstrual periods or no menstrual periods; infertility or inability to get pregnant because of not ovulating; increased growth of hair on the face, chest, stomach; acne, oily skin, or dandruff. Glucophage is an oral antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes. Generic name is metformin. In women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), glucophage can be used to regulate the way insulin decreases testosterone production. Essential cause of infertility in PCOS is lack of ovulation, due to high level of testosterone. Glucophage can be taken with fertility medications to promote ovulation. When you get pregnant, you should stop taking Glucophage.
