Yes you can take the above medications. Glyciphage (metformin) may help you with weight loss and also increase chances of pregnancy. But you need to be proactive in aiming for weight loss. Your BMI is around 39 which is considered as obese and ideally it should be below 25 (atleast below 30). You should aim at a weight below 70 kg for that. Please do not drastically decrease weight over weeks, rather plan appropriately over months. Increase your physical activity levels, follow a strict diet pattern, avoid junk foods and sedentary lifestyle.
Take all the above medications and also include lifestyle modifications as discussed above and your chances of getting pregnant certainly increases.
