Hello, Thanks for posting. Metformin will help in conceiving indirectly by first of regulating your menstrual cycle (hence ovulation). The presence of PCs will require a medication that could regulate hormonal balance of your body since imbalanced hormone with PCs will not be very good if you are planning to conceive. Metformin does not have any known negative effective on your future baby (no contraindications during pregnancy). It was probably prescribed because of your size (you are probably overweight or have obesity) and this would reduce your size and hence effectuate your cycles. Metformin might require stopping by your knobs after you have taken in (gotten pregnant). So consultation with your treating physician will be recommended.  Hope this helps
