HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, metformin can be used for polycystic ovarian syndrome. It helps reduce the insulin resistance that can occur with this condition and can help with conception.
Clomid helps to induce ovulation and is an option that can be considered as well.
Both of these would require a prescription from your doctor.
If there is any excess weight, weight loss would also help. It has been shown to be helpful with conception in polycystic ovarian syndrome
I hope this helps
