Hi,

Metformin is not for induction of periods. It helps treating PCOD by reducing insulin resistance as a cause for PCOD / excessive weight gain. So you needn't be pregnant, continue taking Metformin. Even if you had spontaneous ovulation and you had conceived. It won't matter. Please wait for periods to come for one more month, if not go for pregnancy test again. Follow the advise given by your doctor. There are many treatment plans to treat PCOD. You doctor would apply them one by one.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha, General & Family Physician
