I tried to use metformin however it made me incredibly nauseous. My doctor prescribed it 500mg twice a day. I have a friend who took it and it helped her. She had the longacting kind and took it before bed and that worked for her. Make sure you take it with meals!
Good luck.
BabyRN: Metformin has been used frequently with women who have PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome to help induce ovulation. I added a link for more information.

Metformin is used for diabetics & those with PCOS to control there insulin levels cause most with PCOS are insulin resistant. Metformin will NOT help you get pregnant (your doctor should of explained this to you). You should be taking clomid or something that will help....cause Metformin is not used as a medication to help you get pregnant....and Metformin doesn't always work.....I took it for a 3 months & had to stop cause it made me so sick to my stomach (I was on 1500 mg a day)
