Hi
Sorry about your condition.
If you are only 25, then this sounds more Juvenile Diabetes. Meaning, you might have has this problem since childhood. The best way to manage this would be Insulin Injections. Id have preferred an in person consult with you, to guide you through this sudden change.
Metformin is a real diabetes medicine, same as the others. And please do not self medicate. The underlying issue in both PCOS and Diabetes is the same, which is, impaired Insulin activity.more

One thing u can do is change the brand and see if u find any relief as metformin is a very good medicines. You can try cetapin XR 500 thrice daily.Also use tab pantodac 40 for 15 days.
If symptoms don't resolve, then guess we need to stop metformin.

To get pregnant you need to have fallopian tubes patent which is checked by hsg test and semen should be adequate quality which is checked by semen analysis. These both tests are done before the treatment of any infertile couple. Once the above tests are normal, then treatment with clomiphene citrate is started with monitoring of egg. You need to consult a good gynecologist who would start proper treatment for u.

If your thyroid and sugar both under control, then don't think too much. Thyroxine is to be taken on empty stomach and metformin to be taken with food and both doesn' t have any interaction with each other.
