With all the most common options knocked off your list, I'm thinking an endo is the best way to go, b/c perhaps they can come up with some other options. Met actually works for a lot of ppl in controlling their symptoms, even if they are not IR.
I don't have any physical characteristics of PCOS, but my amenorrhea was controlled with bcps before TTC, so I don't have any miracle advice for you.
So, in summary, seek an endo who will look into other treatments, including possibly metformin or another insulin sensitizing drug. IR diets also help some people, even if they don't test IR. A lot of docs actually believe that PCOS always has something to do with insulin resistance, even if it isn't severe enough to show up on tests, thus the reasoning behind using met.
