It makes me really happy that you have a starting point. You are SO right when you talk about how complex the hormonal thing is. I'm sorry that you're not crazy about your doctor but if she's the best thing going, then it may be worth it to you to stay with her. I am hoping that a new hormonal test will show her something that will help you.
And here's a page on it from a doctor and author who wrote What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Pre-Menopause and What the Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, which talks about natural progesterone:

And you can read about and even order hormone testing kits on his website, if that might be helpful.
Best of luck, and come back and update us when you've learned more! Menopause is totally frustrating and totally interesting, all at the same time.
