Hello,
I understand your concern.
You have insulin resistance which is the cause of your PCOD. Both Glyciphage and Cetapin are the same medicine Metformin made by two different companies and are interchangeable. Metformin is safe and helpful in reducing insulin resistance. But it should be used along with life style changes like eating smaller portions of wholesome food, exercising and stress management to lose your weight.
With loss of weight and the use of metformin, your Insulin Resistance and PCOD would improve and your chances of pregnancy improves.
Best wishes,
