Dear colleagues, What is your opinion about this case? Patient 29 y.o., with PCOS, obesity, infertility is resistant to Clomid (no ovulation for 3 months on dose 150 mg/day). Her fasting insulin level is normal (5.5 mU/ml) Should we try metformin for stimulation of ovulation at this case anyway or it is better to put patient on gonadotropin stimulation scheme?

Thanks.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
