Greetings!

Thank you for your question. I understand your worries regarding your condition. However, due to your limited information, I would not be able to explain what is the solution. It is best to see your attending doctor to ask regarding the issue you are facing.

Usually, doctor will prescribed provera to induce a menstrual period. Meanwhile metformin has another role in PCOS to lower insulin and blood sugar level, and encourage ovulation.

You may consult with your Doctor about your medication usage because they know better about your condition. I cannot tell you which one to eat and which one to stop without further seeing investigations report.
