Why Is Provera Prescribed When Trying To Get Pregnant?

hello my name is Brenda, I have been trying to conceive for 8 months with no success. My doctor did blood work and all these other tests to see if i had a fertility problem and the results would always come out just fine. so after that my husband went in and did a sperm count and semen analysis, and the results were perfect too. My doctor has put me on metformin 1000 mg a day. i have been on the metformin for almost a month and a half. the thing is that before all this i used to have very irregular cycles and my doctor put me on provera 'birth control' for 3 months to help regulate my periods which helped for the whole 3 moths, but when i finished my period was gone for about 41 days and after that them have been much better ive been getting them around every 31 to 32 days. Like i was saying my doctor put me on metformin... but i have been searching the web and they only give that to women who have pcos and i dont have pcos. my doctor told me to take the medication for 3 months and to go back after the 3 months to see what would happen. so I just want to know why would she put me on this medication? is it going to help me conceive?
