Brief Answer:
Please see the detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome cause irregular menstruation and metformin helps in regularization of menstrual cycle and it also helps in lowering BMI. Minimum of 6 months of regular treatment with metformin is required. Generally, urine test for pregnancy can be detected after 10 days of your first missed period.

I would also suggest you to get your thyroid hormone levels. Also, exercise helps in regularization of your periods and try to avoid stressful situations if any.

Hope my answer helped you. Please feel free to reach for any more queries. Thanks.

Regards,
Dr. Saisudha
