Can PCOS And IBS Medicines Cause Mucus Stained Stools?

i am 28 years old and have PCOS and IBS. I recently started taking Metformin to help regulate my ovulation. However, since I started taking it regularly, I have noticed loose stools with a mucus-like look to them. Is it something I should be concerned about or just a side effect?
