Answers:
Metformin is being increasingly used in the treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome where it improves the metabolic and reproductive parameters through the improvement of insulin sensitivity. Observations noted that it also tended to prevent weight gain or even facilitate weight loss. Trials carried out have positively enforced this in obese patients as well as those with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

While it is possible to become pregnant, women with PCOS tend to suffer a much higher rate of miscarriages. Estimates put the rate of miscarriages in women with PCOS at 45% although some believe the figure may be higher. However, experts aren’t sure why exactly this is. Fertility problems experienced by women with PCOS may be related to the elevated hormone, insulin, or glucose levels, all of which can interfere with implantation as well as development of the embryo. Additionally, abnormal insulin levels may also contribute to poor egg quality, making conception more difficult.
Metformin improved chance of pregnancy and reduced risk of miscarriage.
My friends had pcos, and having baby without metformin.
