I would definitely push for hormone level tests. Even if it doesn't
turn anything up, your doctor should not rule things out without at
least having a look. I think it is possible to have regular periods and
still have a hormonal imbalance. It could be that they are fluctuating
enough to drive you crazy but not enough to mess with your periods.
Anyway, that's just my non-medical theory.. :)
