Does metformin and eltroxin help to treat infertility?
Patient: Good Morning Doc,I am suffering from PCOD and thyroid, i am on metformin (gluconorm SR 500 mg) and eltroxin (50mcg) i have been consulting Dr Madhulika Bhattacharya @ Fortis Marthahalli. For the past 9 months. I will soon turn 31 and trying to concieve. Wanted to know your feedback on Dr Madhulika is she good? Should i change my doctor? Please advice. Are the medicines i am on will help me conceive? Doctor: During PCOD there are many hormonal that increase including insulin.  Metformin is given to check this insulin under control.  If Eltroxin is being given probably you are a hypothyroid.  Check your thyroid hormones once in 3 months.    Keep you weight under control by doing regular exercise and dont get tensed. May be you can get a follicular check done and time your intercourse for a better results.
