HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the abdominal pain may indicate that your period may be coming but you would need to monitor to determine if this is the case.
The use of contraception in persons who have PCOS would normally help to regularize the period.

This would normally start during the break between packs.

In terms of pregnancy, PCOS can be associated with difficulty conceiving but there are treatments that can help with this.
The metformin that you are using is thought to help.

In addition weight loss of any excess weight and the use of medication to help with ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary), would also help with conception.

If these methods are not effective there are also other techniques as well

I hope this helps
