It's not only possible, but more likely (though it doesn't work for everyone). I am a 30ish-year old woman of healthy weight treating my PCOS with 1500mg Metformin daily in hopes of conceiving my fourth child. Metformin is a recommended treatment for women wishing to conceive and suffering from PCOS; it oftentimes restores ovulation. In my case, this appears to be true! YAY!! My DH and I will be thrilled if a pregnancy results before having to resort to injectables like we did ttc our third precious child (we conceived our first two in our young years of marriage...naturally, despite my extremely long, sometimes anovulatory cycles). Many REs will combine Met with Clomid. Clomid and I don't get along, though. Best wishes and HTH! M, happily married to my sweetheart almost 10 years now! Blessed with three, gorgeous children.

Does metformin help you get pregnant?
Well, Metformin is actually a drug for diabetics..But is also prescibed for women that have PCOS..When you have PCOS, your ovaries basically shut down due to lack of insulin & a inbalance of hormones. Metformin helps to restore the insulin to get the ovaries pumping correctly--thus ovulation will occur..On that note, a woman is able to conceive because of proper ovaulation. I have PCOS & I just started taking it---my friend also took it & conceived after 3 months..Hopefully this info is helpful, and your reproductive system will respond & help you conceive...Good luck!

Can i you still get pregnant by yourself if you got pcos?
It will probably take longer to conceive if you have PCOS. Chances are your periods are irregular which means you aren't ovulating, which means you can't get pregnant. Talk to your doctor about how you can regulate your periods with diet and medication (Metformin is a common treatment). Clomid can also be used to induce ovulation. Don't lose hope though, you can get pregnant with PCOS, it just may take longer.
