Good day Hi,I am 28 y/o and trying to concieve for 3 years. I have pcos and my menstration is always irregular since the first time i had it. I am taking duphaston for 5 days,two times a day and metformin750xr two times a day for 5 months now. Is it still safe to continue it? Im afraid maybe my pcos will get worse . I really want to get pregnant. Pls help me doc.
Duphaston is a progesteron like drug that generally is not used to help you conceive but to help the menstrual cycles be a more regular. To induce ovulation in patients with PCOS generally it is recommended to get clomifen and metformin (that you are already taking). Combining these two increases the chance of you getting pregnant.
Please talk with your doctor on the chance of starting clomifen to induce ovulation and continue meanwhile with metformine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
