Metformin and PCOS

Has anyone ever gotten prego with just taking the Metformin?  or Did it trigger regular ovulation?
I will be starting the Metformin first then i will be taking the clomid if that doesnt work.  I was just wondering thanks.

Hi Im a 23 year old and i was diagnosed with having PCOS about 4 years ago. I have been battling this for a while now and i find that nothing has changed. My Mensis is very irregular and i just recently heard about Metformin. I was wondering to those who have taken it, have you seen any positive effects from it???? Also are there side effects later when i want to have kids? i have tried birth control and i feel that it jus makes me gain more weight. I need help!!!! Anyone that has any information please post!
Thanks

I have PCOS too and I am on metformin. It didn't work for me though. I ovulated only with injectibles. But my friend(very lucky) she got pregnant on metformin and her dd is 13 months old.
