I just started on metformin about a week ago. My RE didn't mention it at first, and after another round of clomid failed to produce an O, I asked him if I could try it. I told him that "it shouldn't hurt me, it might help, and it's cheap, so why not?" so he said okay, as long as I can tolerate the side effects ok. I don't know if it's helping or not, it's only been a week, but the GI discomfort isn't that bad as long as I gradually increase the dose. (I'm supposed to get up to 850mg BID) Good luck with your doctor.
