The adjuvant therapy of each group will be group (A) Metformin 1000mg, group (B) Dapagliflozin 10mg, Group(C) Combined Dapagliflozin-Metformin 10/1000mg and group (D) with no adjuvant therapy (control group). * The adjuvant therapy will be taken once daily with a main meal and started one month before initiation of letrozole. All groups will take letrozole 2.5mg twice daily from the third day of the cycle for 5 days. This treatment regimen will continue for three cycles unless positive pregnancy is achieved.
