I wouldn't get too worried about it just yet. Your hormone levels are a little whacked out right now with adjusting to the weight change. I frequently had unexplained cycles, and then months before the next ones.
As far as a few pounds gain, its too soon to worry. I know that it is extremely frustrating to not see the scale going down, and even going up, I've been there. However, you need to look at this as a long term thing, and a couple of days is the equivalent to a raindrop in a thundershower.
If your weight loss doesn't continue again after a few weeks, then you may need to visit your physician. Who knows, some women are able to conceive after only 15-20 weight loss. I have no clue whether you would welcome that option, but it is an option if you are in a relationship.
My personal experience is that I only got pregnant with both of my kids AFTER taking HRT for two months. We tried everything to get pregnant after the first child was born, for five years, and finally decided to go back on HRT for the PCOS symptoms. I swear on a stack of bibles that the pill was the reason for my catching preg, even though the doctors swear it isn't possible. I have two wonderful children (now teens) that are all the proof I need. I knew if I wanted anymore kids, all I would need to do is get on the pill again, because that is what worked for me.
My advice at this point is keep venting on the boards, stick with the plan, watch your sodium intake, caffeine, and any 'sneaky' carbs - like sugar alcohols. Some women just have a harder time losing if they intake those types of foods. If things don't improve in the weeks to come, visit your GP.
