@Lala8 It sounds like your appointment went very well and your doctor is really determined to help you get some answers! Having your own personal health goals is fantastic and it sounds like you're really determined too. It might also help you feel more proactive and successful to make those lifestyle changes that are in your own hands. If it ends up helping you get pregnant, that would be amazing, and I hope it works for you soon. 
@mummy2o I know it is very frustrating having an undiagnosed medical issue, and sometimes it feels like it would just be better to get ANY diagnosis, even if it's a "bad" one. I hope that you will have some positive, definitive answers soon. Maybe your irregular periods could be coming from something that's easier to solve than PCOS? I'm sorry you are going through so much uncertainty.
I'm back from my appointment with my GP today too. He was a bit concerned because I'm still bleeding a bit more than he would like, but he thinks it should taper off soon. I'm supposed to take it easy over the Canada day long weekend. I really don't want to end up with a D&C.
He said he would probably recommend waiting THREE months for us to TTC again since we have a higher m/c risk from my autoimmune disease. That way we can heal fully emotionally, physically etc. But in the end it's our choice and I actually feel it would just be a lot more devastating for both of us if we were to wait all that time only to suffer another loss... Or wait months and months to get pregnant again.
I think we will probably go with the urgent care ob-gyn's recommendation and just TTC whenever we both feel ready to do it. My heart murmur (that I had as a baby) is also back. He said it's probably harmless, possibly pregnancy related, and just means more monitoring! 
I actually did have to have my pain medication (percocet) increased. He agreed with my pharmacist that a high pain level and the stress on my body from it would probably actually be much worse for both myself and future baby than any risk from the drugs if I get pregnant. I feel less worried about taking them now, and OH is happy with the decision.
I guess overall it was an OK appointment, at least I've had worse. It just gets kind of frustrating when it seems like everyone else around us can just pop a bunch of babies out without even thinking about it. For us it's not so simple... OH says this little extra struggle just means our LOs will be that much more cherished and special to us when they get here. I think that means there will be a LOT of extra cherished and special LOs coming soon to so many of us here!
