Daniel's answer is absolutely correct, if a lady have polysistic overy it will be difficult to conceive, if you have polisystic overy better option to do keyhole minor surgery it will help, my wife had this problem and I have two kids now. Tablet may take long time to get result.

Metformin (Glucophage) is an oral medication that can help to stimulate ovulation in women with ovulation problems and polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOS.

sah when the dr issued the RX for the medicine did you ask what was it for?? I would say a public forum is not the best place to ask for a medicine results on people. Just remember all human beings react different to some medicines and components.

Talk to your Dr and get first hand info

Some general reading

But in the end better get in touch with your dr for control and advice.
