Hello,
Firstly, I do not think you were given metrogyl and kefpod (cefpodoxime-an antibiotic) for treating your PCOD. Glycomet (metformin) is indeed used for treatment of PCOD. As per your height you are overweight. A natural pregnancy indicates that you are ovulating. You did not mention your menstrual history. Abortion after 2 months without fetal heart beat indicates abnormal fetal development or a missed abortion which could be due to insufficient progesterone level that is characteristic of PCOD. I advice you to wait until the completion of treatment as you are on metrogyl and kefpod. Yet, the discretion lies with your doctor. Good luck.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Patients suffering with Poly cystic ovarian disease have multiple small cysts in their ovaries.
Ovaries become enlarged and produce excessive amount of estrogen and androgen hormones.
Absence of ovulation causes infertility.
Many patients with PCOD also have insulin resistance and have raised level of insulin.
These patients may not respond to clomiphen, thus treated with anti diabetic drugs like metformin and troglitazone.
Clomiphen is used to stimulate ovulation. Low doses of dexamethasone can be given simultaneously to suppress androgen production from adrenal gland.
If clomiphen doesn't work, a new anti-estrogen called Letrozole can be used.
Clomifen resistant women suffering with PCOD, may need HMG(gonadotrophis) to induce ovulation.
Difficult patients may require a combination of GnRH analog and HMG to induce ovulation successfully.
Kefpod and metrogyl are probably prescribed to you, to treat infection. You have to take these for a limited prescribed period only.
Glycomet in an anti diabetic drug, which contains metformin.
This can improve your fertility by reversing endocrine abnormality and improving your ovulatory response.
Thus you can conceive, provided ovulation occurs during treatment and you have sex around ovulation day.
