Thanks so much for your replies and thoughts, and you have said what I've been thinking...it's time to move on.
I must clarify, this is a GP not an ob. I haven't been referred to an OB, my GP says there's no point until the 12 week mark, but I'm concerned that he doesn't know enough about gynae or ob problems. We he diagnosed me with PCOS it was me that suggested that that's what it may be and he ran the tests and only read about it whilst I was in the office, and hadn't really heard about it before. When the test results came back he knew enough about PCOS to diagnose that it was exactly that from the hormone levels and the cysts everywhere. He said to me at that point, now you know as much as I do about it.
The nearest OB is a couple of hours away in a large city and apparently it's very difficult to get into them, especially if I have a GP reluctantly referring me I suppose.
So I"m thinking that this week I may see a different GP in the same surgery instead and get a second opinion.
My current GP has been with me through a lot which is why up till this point I had full trust in him. He got me help I needed when I was leaving a long term DV marriage a couple of years ago and I guess was the only one I wasn't afraid to tell about what was going on. He's been great in that area, but this has shown me otherwise with OB problems.
I am assuming that it's not unreasonable to expect to be referred to an OB with these problems, even if I am only 6 weeks pregnant (according to the recent scan)?
