Without examining you, it's hard to make a judgement on whether you *should* be worried. It sounds like the many GYNs you've seen were not concerned.

However, you *are* worried. Perhaps you should consider consulting a reproductive endocrinologist, a type of GYN specialist who may be able to give you more information. Best of luck.
