MIRENA IUD, PCOS, PREGNANT PLEASE HELP

i was diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor recommended i take the mirena IUD because i was 18 and young. im 19 now but anyway i had the mirena for almost 4 months, me and my husband really wants to have a baby despite what anyone say. but im afraid if she removes the IUD i wont have a period or even ovulate im scared.  other woman said there doctor prescribed them meteformin and they got pregnant , i asked mines she said its nothing else , maybe i didn't ask clear enough or she didn't get it or something. but im wondering have anyone ever went this route. and does this treatment really work for PCOS in general. doc isn't giving me answers i need. i get it removed Monday, hopefully me and my husband get pregnant



long story short


does the mirena IUD even one of the treatments for PCOS

if i get it removed will i still have regular period because thats another reason i have it, so i can have a period.

people with PCOS is it even hard to ovulate or most woman ovulate no matter what

I have pcos and am taking metformin. My doctor put me on birth control a year ago I didn't like the way it made me feel so I only took it for a few months. I had been wanting to try metformin for a while and she finally prescribed it to me a month ago. I think for some reason doctors are so quick to put women with pcos on birth control, but that doesn't fix the real problem only covers the symptoms.

Anyways, I have heard of using iud for pcos, but I think it's the same as using birth control where it doesn't really fix the problem. Metformin can help women with pcos get pregnant. My doctor told me to be careful if I don't want to get pregnant. It's supposed to help you ovulate, which is a problem for most with pcos. If you get regular periods without using birth control or anything then you are ovulating if you don't then you aren't and need something like metformin to be able to get pregnant. If metformin alone doesn't work, sometimes metformin is combined with clomid to cause ovulation.
