Hi I was on this leading up to my DE transfer as recommended by our clinic. It did no harm as we got pregnant :0)

Ah I’m not sure sorry although I know lots of people are taking them now but more for IVF’ers

I was on it as had mild PCOS but unfortunately it didn’t help me get pregnant. I stayed on it during pregnancy (IVF) as advised by my fertility drs x

I had my four children naturally using Metformin , can’t rate it highly enough. I have been told I don’t have a hormonal imbalance now but it regulates my periods . I swear it helps you stay looking younger aswell ! I don’t think it helps everyone however but would definitely give it a go xx
