Supposedly Dr. Michael Heard of Baylor continued Metformin 'uncontrolled' and it didn't do anything for the pregnancy rate. I know we've talked about this particular one before. Dr. Perloe was the one who said this, but I haven't found anything in Pubmed about it. I think, but am not sure, SGI was the periodical it was to be published in. I haven't looked at SGI, but I know the information stuck out in my mind. I thought it was odd since I've heard the same thing you have Renee.

There are other reasons for miscarriage than just insulin levels. In RL, I've seen women have to go farther than using Metformin for pregnancy help. I would also suspect that a comment made in one article I have might be true and that is that oral medications may have only so much of a length of effectiveness. (Yikes!)
