Trying To Conceive, PCOS, Irregular Cycles. Taking Metformin, Duphaston. Correct Dosage?

I am 26, married and have pco and very irregular cycles. I have now been giving metformin and duphaston to regulate and become pregnant eventually. But how should i take them? My doctor said something like taking metformin everyday from first day of cycle until period starts and duphaston from day 16 to 26..is this correct? I m not sure if i should stop takin metformin when i start duphaston, or if i should continue, so i take both untill i get my period or fall pregnant. your help is appreciated.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. As your doctor explained take metformin continuously irrespective of the periods.
and dufastan from16 to 30th day of the period. Both are good drugs to treat pcod and infertility. Besides anaemia is the major
cause of irregular periods and infertility.
Besides i advise you to follow some diet recomendations as take more of green leafy vegetables pulses sprouts milk egg
meat seafoods to treat anaemia irregular periods and infertility in natural way. thanks for calling.
