As others have said, the diarrhea is pretty unrelenting in the beginning. A friend of ours was on it a few years ago. Wasn’t for diabetes though, I forgot why she was taking it. They were doing fertility treatment for a while and maybe it was part of that. Could be completely wrong about that but I do remember her telling me she was taking it for a while.

Metformin is frequently given to women with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). Which is a very common cause of infertility.

I know cause I have PCOS and it’s why I couldn’t have kids. Metformin can help with PCOS symptoms and help a woman have more regular ovulation that could help her conceive.

I’ve been on Metformin a few years now for PCOS. Can still help with other PCOS symptoms not related to trying to get pregnant. The first few weeks it made me really really nauseous. Now I have no issues with it.
