Hi Shivali,

I will attempt to answer few part of your query!
Mostly hormone imbalance comes along with or in extension to PCOS
You can very well conceive without medication if your PCOS conditions are normal, that is if your periods are regular & thyroid levels are normal. If possible, track your ovulation. If all these factors are fine, you don't need to bother about Metformin as well. Just focus on weight management & good diet. Try to be active or do some moderate exercises regularly, so that fat won't deposit & became heavy in weight! PCOS can be controlled with diet, exercise & care. So, don't worry about it. Just focus in building healthy body, that will do the good!
Hope soon your body will get regularized.
