Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Astaxanthin is high quality antioxidant. This will improve the ovarian function and help to produce good quality eggs.

I also suggest you to continue rest of your drugs and along with that discuss the use of metformin with your doctor.

In pcos insulin resistance will be more which will be tackled by metformin. Also since you are trying for long time I would suggest you to go for IUI. Here healthy sperms are placed in uterus . This will increase chances of pregnancy .

Hope I have been helpful .

Regards
