Angry Frustrated in Ontario! (a little long sorry)

Hi ladies,

I am completely frustrated and need some help. I'll try to make a long story short. About 3 1/2 years ago I decided to start trying to deal with my TTC issues not knowing at the time that it was PCOS. I hadn't been to my family doctor in a long time and apparently, they toss your file after so many years and then when you try to go back you aren't considered a patient of that doctor anymore and you have to start looking for a doctor that's accepting new patients...(my old one wasn't anymore). So while I was waiting for a new doc to come into town I went to a walk in clinic for my TTC issues. They referred me to a gyno which was a 2 month wait. The gyno was a huge B**** but she diagnosed my PCOS which I'm thankful for and I was referred to a fertility clinic to help with my TTC. I then went to my new doc who arrived in town and gave her all my files from the gyno. Started doing some testing at the fertility clinic and in the process spontaneously got preggers on my own after over 2 1/2 years of trying. So I guess I've ignored my PCOS for the last 2 years while pregnant and bf'ing.
I now have an almost 1 year old son and would like to start TTC again soon (but want to lose some weight first). However losing weight has been next to impossible and frustrating. I now have had a 3 month long period that won't stop. I visited my family doc which I'm not at all happy with but it's so hard to find a doc accepting new patients. She told me that she'd like to put me on Provera....are you kidding me? I want to lose weight and get pregnant and you want to put me on provera which will make me gain more weight, prevent me from getting pregnant and from what I hear, screw up my cycles even worse. So then she suggested bcp which of course won't help me in TTC either and will only mask my problems not help to fix them. My blood pressure was a bit high when I was in the office (probably due to my screaming son after waiting for an hour to see the doc), so she wants me to come back in a week to check my blood pressure and then she'll perscribe me bcp....that's it nothing else. I've been bleeding for 3 months and she had me leave with nothing. No blood work, no pills to stop the bleeding, nothing.
I'm looking now to find a doctor in Ontario that is accepting new patients and is PCOS friendly. I'm in Milton but will travel to Mississauga, Guelph, Oakville, Burlington for a good doc. I don't even want to go back to my current doc right now so I need someone I can go to without a referral. Any suggestions?
