Unhappy confused about meds.

ok, so i have been diagnosed with pcos for two years now. i spent the first year just on bcp. low dose stuff, either nuva ring or mircette. then i went to an endo, i spent the last year on either yaz or yasmin and only the 500 mg dosage of metformin. gained ten pounds when they told me i needed to lose five. went to a new endo a month ago. he was annoyed that i never made it up to the 2000mg theraputic dosage for pcos, so we increased my dosage to 2000mg over the past month. i went back on friday. i've gained ten pounds in teh last month, and i have had ZERO energy. and i love to work out. i have been taking an average of a three hour nap most days now. he doesn't seem to think this lack of energy is a problem. then a friend and i got to talking, and she said maybe my bcp was a higher hormone dose, and that could make me gain weight. she said she had a friend gain thirty pounds on a form of the pill, and another friend of mine said her friend gained 50 on depo. so what i want to know is, do you have to take bcp and met? if i am only in the insulin resistant phase, couldn't i just control it with diet and being on the pill? or should i stay on met and avoid hormones? mine are not out of whack, they are normal. also, shouldn't i be worried about this lack of energy? it's making it hard to even do my normal workouts. i am going back in the morning to talk to his nutritionist. he said on friday we would all just have a sitdown and discuss my nutrition. which i am so sick of people trying to call me out on diet and exercise. i would love for them to talk to any of my friends or call the trainers at the gym. i am always doing something, lifting, kickboxing, weights, dance classes, walking my dog for hours. i am starting to get injurys from over doing it. i don't know what else to do and i am frustrated and totally cried on friday. and it all comes back to diet. ugh!!! hope this makes sense and doesn't sound to rambly...just want to know if all these pills are necessary if they are making me feel so out of sorts. if i am still going to keep gaining weight, i'd prefer to do it without the pills ya know?
