Leanne- I understand lots of your fustrations it sounds to me that the best thing you could do is find a new gp, don't forget they are there to help you go in there with as much info as possible so it will be difficult for them to say no to you. Have you been refered to a specialist??? If not do believe me it helps!!
Re: excess hair- if you are ttc there are lots of things you can't take that help like the pill of finesteride but shaving is the WORST way to get rid of the hair try waxing or creams. Vaniqua takes a few weeks/months to work so please persevere, like most things it doesn't work staright away! Metformin will help with ttc and the excess hair. Tiredness is a symptom of PCOS as many of us have low iron stores. Have you had a FBC and Iron store level blood test recently- maybe your anaemic???
English Drs don't know much about PCOS and it can be super fustrating but believe me being proactive and not taking no for an answer is the way to deal with it.
Good luck!!
