Hi Teddybear123, may I know which doctor diagnored you with PCO? I also had the same encounter last week... He prescribed metformin and clomid. I read that there are side effects to both, but clomid has more serious side effects than metformin.
I went to see another gynae who told me metformin is relatively harmless so I can take it. But she told me not to take clomid first and try a few more months. She says she needs to do progesterone blood test to advise further.
I went to see a third gynae who told me clomid is more effective than metformin, and that he does not recommend metformin; he said might as well just take clomid straightaway... He said doesn't matter whether I have PCO or PCOS or none. Should just tackle upcoming issues and look forward.
Seems like different doctors have different thinking and approach............
