I know you're more likely to get pregnant on Glucophage, as it addresses the IR which is impacting the fertility. I don't recall seeing anything about it affecting BCPs. I know Actos has that label. I asked for Actos, and got it, based on some people's recommendations. But, I read the pharmacy info sheet with it, got some more info from a pharmacist, and decided not to take it, since it can interfere with BCPs effectiveness.
