Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Duphastone is progesterone which is given to make the uterine environment more favourable for pregnancy. It is safe for both mother and fetus.
Glyciphage is given in Gestational diabetes mellitus, diabetes previous to pregnancy or in. Polycystic ovarian disease.
Obesity is no indication to give metformin in pregnancy.
So, I suggest you to discuss with your doctor the need to give metformin.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
