I take metformin for PCOS, have been on it since March, but still not pregnant.
My gyn told me that if I conceived, I should stay on the metformin through first trimester at least. My GP told me to stop.
Fortunately, I'm in the situation of having a friend who is nearly finished her studies to become a specialist obs/gyn. It's new research, and not everyone knows about it, especially at the GP level. Metformin is considered fine during pregnancy, and it actually reduces the risk of miscarriage that is associated with PCOS.
Your new GP may mean well, but they aren't up to date with the PCOS and metformin literature.
