Hi gals, I'm new here and have been on metformin for 5 weeks now (I'm 29, diagnosed at age 19 with PCOS after having irregular periods, so have been on the pill for the last 10 years, with breaks here and there but never having AF..but I used to have periods every 3-5 months in high school). I don't ovulate so doctor is hoping the met, a low GI diet and active lifestyle will change that. I've always been on the thin-side, currently a more 'average' size with a bit of bloating around the tummy.

Anyway, my question is, is it safe to have unprotected intercourse before I have that first period on metformin? I don't think I've ovulated since I was about 19 so will my first ovulation be like the proverbial first pancake of the batch - ie, no good? I'd love to start TTC straight away but am not sure I'd be off to a healthy start and have no idea if I'm ovulating today, tomorrow or last week etc. (until I get that AF).
