Main Outcome Measure(s): Rate of ovulation, pregnancy rate (PR), and live birth. Ovulation was monitored by serum progesterone, transvaginal sonography up to six cycles or till pregnancy occurred upto six months. Result(s): The ovulation rate was 68.4% in the metformin group, 59% in the laparoscopy treatment group. The pregnancy rate was (20.1% and 16.6%) and live birth rate was (18.4% and 15.4%) in metformin and laparoscopy treatment groups, respectively. The rate of spontaneous first trimester loss was three and two in metformin and laparoscopy group respectively. There were no ectopic pregnancies in metformin group and two in laparoscopy group.
