If you are TTC, Glucophage will NOT work for you!!!
I found this: http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/GLU1188.HTM
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. Glucophage should not be taken during pregnancy.
Since studies suggest the importance of maintaining normal blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy, your doctor may prescribe insulin injections instead.
It is not known whether Glucophage appears in human breast milk. Therefore, women should discuss with their doctors whether to discontinue the medication or to stop breastfeeding. If the medication is discontinued and if diet alone does not control glucose levels, then your doctor may consider insulin injections.

yes it is safe as any drug can be. it does have side effects like every other drug thats out there on the market. i took it for my diabetes for several years and now i take the generic form of it called metformin. and no i don't know if it has been prescribed for pcod! but then i'm not sure what pcod is! as far as i know its a drug primaraly used to treat diabetes.
