I use metformin to treat PCOS. Should I stop taking the medication before or after I get pregnant?
Recent studies suggest that women with PCOS who are treated with metformin have a higher chance of getting pregnant.
Other studies have suggested that continuing metformin after becoming pregnant may decrease the chance of first-trimester miscarriage when compared to women with PCOS who did not take metformin. Women with PCOS who are planning a pregnancy or who become pregnant should not discontinue metformin unless directed to do so by a doctor.
