Hello
PCOS is a condition where there are multiple small follicles in the ovaries, and none of them ovulate.
PCOS is a condition of hormonal imbalance, which is why you might be having three miscarriages.
It is not " treatable " but can be controlled to a great extent by diet and lifestyle modifications and drugs.
Weight reduction of even 5 kg can greatly improve your menstrual cycles.
Glucophage is metformin which helps in correcting associated glucose intolerance and overall hormonal imbalance.
IT is safe to take it for three months.
Meanwhile, eat healthy, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy BMI.
You might need fertility enhancing treatment to conceive
Take care.
