I'm getting a lot of Glucophage scripts together with Provera and Clomid
for fertility patients. Anyone know what roll the Glucophage plays?

I have PCOS and it helps ovulation. With PCOS some of the time women don't
ovulate, I'm one of them. Glucophage helps women ovulate, and also assists
in balancing insulin levels.
