Patient: I am currently taking metformin, I started taken it November 1, 2013. I was taken 2 pills a day. On 3/12/14, my doctor started me taken 2 pills twice a day. I take for PSOS, will taking this medicine possibly increase my chances of conception. I have 1 tubal pregnancy and suffered 2 miscarriages. Doctor: Hi,I understand your concern. You have PCOS and history of miscarriage. I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo USG scan, ovarian follicle study and take proper treatment under advise. - Metformin: It will help in induction of ovulation and decrease insulin resistance. - You can ask following medicine also to increase fertility chance: Progesterone pill in second half, Tablet Clomiphene citrate from day 3rd to 8th. Tablet Ovacre. Avoid stress, take healthy diet (avoid excessive sweet, take small frequent meal rather than large meal), do regular exercise and reduce 10-12% body weight, drink plenty of water and maintain proper pelvic hygiene.Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.Best regards,Dr. Sagar
