Is Intercourse Safe While On Metformin, Duphaston And Fertab?

Hi am 31 years old and married. We are planning for baby but unable to conceive and doctors put me on metformin 500 mgBD Folicum 5 mg BD both until I get pregnant and duphaston 10 mg BD for 5 days. After I had duphaston, I got period just after 3 days and Doc prescribed fertab 50mg to take from 2nd day till 6th days of my period BD as well. And I have OPD visit on 7th days of my period. During this period is it safe to have intercourse? How possible that I get pregnant or can it be checked during OPD visit ? I am so excited that it will work and same time I am nervous as well. Please suggest!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is completely safe to take these medications while trying to conceive. It is unlikely that you will conceive during this time. Most women will ovulate 7 to 10 days after taking your last Clomiphene pill (Fertab). It is the time around ovulation that conception is possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
