Hello & Welcome to HCM,
I had gone through your case and i advise you that only by glucophage medicine you can not loose the weight.It is only supplement for helping not to retain the water in body because in PCOS the main problem is water retention. So it can only work as supplement.For treating the PCOS take proper medication, exercise and diet.Hope my answer will be effective for you.
