I was curious since a friend of mine takes it for fertility issues and I take it to control my diabetes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/metformin#post-51722 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:08:48 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 51722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Insulin resistance and PCOS are often linked. So controlling the former helps the latter. It can also help some PCOS patients with weight loss, which in itself can help with TTC. Apparently it can help boost the effectiveness of Clomid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/metformin#post-51706 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:41:17 +0000 MaisyMay 51706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that a lot of doctors prescibe metformin to deal with PCOS but I take it to help control my diabetes. I tried to figure out what it does for people with PCOS but didn't have a lot of luck, so I hoped a bee could answer the question for me:</p> <p>How does metformin help PCOS? </p>
