Metformin improves IVF outcomes by enhancing insulin sensitivity, thus better regulating hormonal balance and improving egg quality. It also reduces the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation by moderating hormonal responses during treatment.
1. Metformin improves IVF outcomes by enhancing insulin sensitivity, which helps regulate menstrual cycles and improve egg quality, reducing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
2. During IVF, metformin regulates insulin and androgen levels, which helps prevent excessive ovarian response and reduces the chances of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
