I highly suggest going to a good reproductive endocrinologist. You need a new doctor, for sure. Having toilet problems should not affect how the BCP works. Any symptoms you are having could be symptoms of anything, so I wouldn't look to that to know if you're pg. Chances that you got pregnant this cycle on the BCP are very slim.
I highly recommend NOT taking birth control pills (BCP) to treat PCOS. BCP tend to mask the symptoms of PCOS while not actually treating it. There has been research that shows that your PCOS actually gets worse by going on BCP. Also, BCP raise the risks of many bad things (like blood clots), which we also have a higher risk of having becasue of the PCOS. I would think long and hard and do tons of research before you decide to do that. Here's some basic PCOS info and links. The best way to regulate your period (and get pregnant) is to treat your PCOS the correct way.
I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist. They are generally more knowledgeable about PCOS and the correct treatment. Unfortunately, many doctors are not aware of the proper treatment.
The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). The best treatment for PCOS is going on an insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin (1500-2550mg per day) combined with a low carb diet and exercise. There are a few important things to know:
1. Many women "pass" the test for IR, but still respond positively from the metformin. No one knows exactlly why..my thought is that the test is not a sure fire way of detecting the IR.
2. You must be on a high enough dose of metformin. I've heard women complain that their bodies dont start working even though they've been on metformin for awhile. Some doctors are hesitant to up the dose past 1500mg...but for some of us it takes more. I don't respond until my dose is around 2000mg a day.
3. It can take a few months on the correct dose, before your body is regulated.
4. It is important to treat your PCOS even if you are not trying to get pregnant. There are higher risks for many things (high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if it is treated properly, then those risks are lowered.
When the PCOS is treated properly, all of your symptoms may not disappear, but they should improve some. It will also be a lot easier to lose weight (and keep it off). Our bodies work against us when we try to lose weight on our own, making it nearly impossible to lose weight.
There are TONS of books about PCOS and dieting. There are two that I recommend. Here's the links at amazon for those:

I also recommend a couple web sites:
http://pcos.itgo.com/
http://www.inciid.org/faq.php?cat=infert...
http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhp... This one is a great message board where you can ask all your PCOS questions or just chat with the women who are also dealing with PCOS. Good luck.

If by toilet problems you mean throwing up then you could be pregnant if you threw up in a certain time after taking one of your pills (check the package instructions to see that time frame) . When in doubt take a test.
