Metformin has been shown to help some, but not all, people lose weight. But, it is not a consistent weight loss medication. However it does have other benefits for women with PCOS, including improving the likelihood of spontaneous ovulation, or making women who need clomid to help them ovulate more sensitive to clomid. Are your periods regular? What are your goals - weight loss? Pregnancy? If weight loss, a nutritionist might be helpful.

Yes. I did . My thyroid levels are fine.
Have you checked your thyroid levels? I think that sometimes PCOS and hypothyroid can go hand and hand but I'm not a doc.
