ok ladies, as the title suggests, i'm at a complete utter disbelief and about to cry!!!!! just came back from my doc appt and it was not good.
quick history, i'm 43, i've been pregnant 6 times, i have 5 live children, oldest being 22, youngest, 7. so my new hubby and i are TTC'ing for a sibling for our 7 year old, and i have been having the craziest monthly cycles.
I haven't had an AF since August!!!! on CD95!! been tested at home and at Doc's all BFN's! so i went to the doc, and he prescribed me provera, of which i took, for 10 days, no AF and i should have had one at least 3 weeks ago, so today i go in again, and ask for some help.
he tells me that he thinks i am going through early menopause!!!!! what the !!!!! he asks me how old my sister is, she is 41, severely overweight, with alot of health problems, but she is having her cycle, matter of fact, she was 4 months PG without knowing it and lost it. he asks about my mother, i tell him she is around 65 and was having her periods till she was about 55 or so. before she stopped. sooo..............he doesn't check me, no internal, no ultrasound, no checking my BB's nothing.
I've gained 10 lbs in the last few months, my BB's are huge and dark, i'm extremely hungry all the time, and have to pee all time! he says that if i am, menopausal, that i would gain weight, and to just diet and exercise. he then proceeds to tell me that he doesn't think that it would be beneficial to do any labs, because if i am, i am, and there is no stopping it. he wants me to come back in 4 to 6 months!!!! with a history of my cycles, if i get them.
i don't know what to do at this point!!!! any suggestions???? is there anything i can take, naturally, that if there was the remote possibly that everyone is wrong and i am actually PG, that would be ok to take to bring down AF and ovulate regular?
i'm so sad

I would demand bloodwork, do as much research as you can to find out what kind of testing can be done to determine where you're body is at reproductively and request that as well. The very fact that he told you to come back in 6 months sends HUGE red flags up to me. That's too much time to waste on a useless doctor!
