During PCOD there are many hormonal that increase including insulin. Metformin is given to check this insulin under control. If Eltroxin is being given probably you are a hypothyroid. Check your thyroid hormones once in 3 months. Keep you weight under control by doing regular exercise and dont get tensed. May be you can get a follicular check done and time your intercourse for a better results.
